BC trucking company suspended after 6th overpass crash in 2 years

Traffic was snarled on Highway 99 through Delta, B.C., on Thursday, after yet another truck struck an overpass. This marks the seventeenth bridge strike this year in Metro Vancouver.

Images from the scene showed a semi-truck with large metal girders on a flatbed that appeared to have struck the 112 Street overpass. One of the girders was lodged between the overpass and the highway.

Chohan Freight Forwarders, which has been involved in nearly a third of collisions involving overpasses in the last several years, confirmed one of its trucks was involved in Thursday's crash.

The Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement branch was "suspending the company’s ability to operate in B.C. while the investigation is underway, which will likely cost the company tens of thousands of dollars," the statement added.
