The bridge sustained some structural damage and engineers were called in to investigate, OPP said.

The driver did not sustain any injuries from the crash.

“Just a reminder, circle checks are very important when operating commercial motor vehicles,” OPP said in a video posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Take a few moments to walk around your vehicle before you depart to prevent these types of incidents from happening.”
