one of the busiest bridges in the province was shut down this afternoon by a massive piece of metal dangling above drivers who had little way of avoiding the danger the transportation Ministry calls this extremely unusual and officials are now searching for the truck our Penny death loss is here Penny given the chatter on social media many people are assuming this was another overhyped vehicle strike you know me trying at first blush it can be easy to see why people might think that but those overhead beams are actually quite High and the Ministry of Transportation tells me there is no damage to the gantries that indicates there was any impact so at this point all signs point to a bizarre but potentially dangerous accident that large sheet of metal was wrapped around one of the overhead lighting gantries on the south end of the bridge during the noon hour the span was shut down in both directions as Crews removed the items then hauled it off the bridge the transportation Ministry tells CTV news it appears it may have been the roof of box truck that dislodged and blew upwards slamming into the Gantry officials don't believe the vehicle itself struck the metal beam as they don't have any impact damage but that traffic light will need some repairs the commercial vehicle standards enforcement unit which investigates accidents or serious issues with commercial trucks well that group is now involved they're trying to track down the truck involved presumably to both speak with the driver and scrutinize the vehicle to find out how something like this could happen me John yeah and lucky that no one was hurt in this situation thank you penny
