Saskatchewan Overpass Collisions: Stricter Penalties Eyed

Published 4 days, 13 hours ago
Description

Saskatchewan faces a surge in overpass collisions involving tall vehicles, with four incidents in less than a month, three in Saskatoon alone. The latest crash on Circle Drive led to temporary lane closures for damage assessment. Previous collisions occurred near Moose Jaw and on Highways 11 and 16. Trucking leaders advocate for stricter permit regulations and penalties, while the province inspects all overpass spans for damage. Charges have been laid in previous cases, and the city plans to enforce fines up to $10,000 for individuals and $20,000 for companies to deter these costly accidents.
