“There were no injuries, and the bridge wasn’t closed for any length of time,” says Sergent Clay Kronebusch of the Quesnel RCMP.

The truck and trailer were separated to clear the roadway. The truck was placed in Chuck Beath Park, and the trailer was moved off the road.

At this time, Quesnel RCMP, nor the Ministry of Transportation and Transit have not reported major structural damage to the bridge.
