A Monday afternoon crash where a truck hit a Hwy. 1 overpass in Langley was the eighth in 12 months for the region, according to the provincial Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.

Around 2 p.m. July 18, a truck hit the Glover Road overpass, then came to a stop at the railway crossing down the road.

According to DriveBC, one lane was closed Monday afternoon not long after 2 p.m. at the overpass for eastbound traffic.

A ministry statement said all eight incidents to date have involved 鈥渢ransport trucks carrying over-height loads and striking overhead bridges鈥� in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.

It said in the coming weeks, the ministry will publish 鈥渁 list of B.C. carriers who have been cancelled for cause, this includes serious safety violations.鈥�

鈥滻n addition, the ministry is currently looking into how best to publicly share information about other types of commercial vehicle incidents,鈥� the statement said.

A June 23 crash caused $1 million damage to the 232nd Street overpass in Langley, which is currently restricted to one-way alternating traffic as it awaits repairs, which are not expected to be completed until the spring of 2023.

RCMP said the driver was issued tickets for driving without due care, and for failing to properly secure his load, as required under the Commercial Transport Act

In response to a Langley Advance Times query, the ministry said if a driver is found to be responsible for causing a collision to an overpass, the vehicle鈥檚 insurance, 鈥淚CBC or the driver鈥檚 private insurance,鈥� would pay the repair costs stemming from the collision.
