Truck driver escapes injury after bridge collapse in rural Nova Scotia – Halifax | 24CA News
Officials are investigating after a bridge collapsed in Nova Scotia’s Colchester County on Tuesday morning.
RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Chris Marshall stated police acquired a name round 7 a.m., saying a truck had been crossing a bridge on Lake Road in French River when it collapsed.
“The driver was the only person in the truck. They managed to get out uninjured,” he stated.
The driver of the transport truck, which gave the impression to be carrying lumber, was the one who made the 911 name, Marshall stated.
Lake Road has closed down and motorists are requested to make use of Trout Brook Road or Cooper Road as a substitute. The street closure will probably be indefinite.
Marshall stated the investigation has been turned over to motorized vehicle compliance and public works, which is able to look into the burden of the truck and why the bridge collapsed.
Global News has contacted the Department of Public Works for extra particulars.
Officials have indefinitely closed Lake Road to site visitors resulting from a bridge collapse.
