A truck carrying a prefabricated home struck an overpass on Highway 99 in Richmond Wednesday morning, according to authorities.
The strike was reported around 9:15 a.m. at the Blundell Road overpass, the B.C. Highway Patrol said in a news release.
Initially, the BCHP said the truck was carrying a load of lumber, but it later corrected itself to say the load was a prefabricated home.
“A pilot vehicle that was following the tractor trailer was damaged when the over-height load ... fell off the trailer and hit the pilot vehicle’s windshield,” spokesperson Cpl. Michael McLaughlin said.
“The tractor-trailer stopped at the scene. The driver and the company involved will be investigated.”
No injuries were reported and no obvious damage to the overpass was observed.
Police said inspectors would be “taking a closer look at the overpass” to ensure it is safe.
