BC Highway Patrol is investigating an overpass strike in Langley on Wednesday morning.
Police said they received a call at 7:52 a.m. that a box truck had struck the CP Rail overpass on Highway 1 westbound just after 232 Street.
“The damage to the overpass appears to be minor. It is hard to distinguish today’s damage from multiple past overpass strikes at this same location,” Cpl. Michael McLaughlin with BC Highway Patrol said in a statement.
