A bewildering update has been provided by North Vancouver RCMP regarding a collision between a transport truck and an overpass.
The collision took place around 7 p.m. Tuesday on Highway 1 at the Main Street overpass.
When Mounties arrived at the location, it became quickly apparent the driver had fled the scene of the crash.
“At this point, the driver is still outstanding and his identity remains unknown,” Const. Mansoor Sahak said.
“Police have followed up with the owner of the transport truck and have issued them a violation ticket for fail to remain at the scene of accident.”
The crash closed the eastbound lanes of Highway 1 in the area for eight hours before it was reopened around 3:30 a.m., which created “significant traffic delays.”
Engineers have deemed the overpass structurally safe.
The incident is under investigation with RCMP and Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement involved.
