The truck, an Alberta-based carrier with a licensed load, was driving westbound in the left lane of Highway 1 carrying a modular home when it struck the No. 3 Road overpass.

The Ministry of Transportation said there was only superficial damage to the overpass but it did cause a traffic jam.

On Tuesday, B.C. Highway Patrol said the driver was issued a ticket of $368 for driving without due care and attention and given six points on their licence.

The Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Transportation is also investigating.
