In a statement to 650 CKOM, the City of Saskatoon said, “The City of Saskatoon has inspected the structure and observed some minor damage. The truck has been removed and there are no traffic restrictions in place.”
The Saskatoon Police Service confirmed that the scene had been cleared by shortly after 3 p.m., Wednesday afternoon.
Randal Maveal lives nearby and said he heard a “really loud” bang when the truck hit the overpass.
“I went out there and I seen that he was trying to turn the corner, and I thought he didn’t have clearance, like with how tall his truck was,” he said.
“When he turned the corner, something shifted in his load; probably a big beam got him wedged underneath the freeway.”
“It’s probably pretty embarrassing.”
