WINNIPEG – A highway just east of Winnipeg was closed Tuesday after a tractor-trailer crashed and was left hanging over a bridge.
The trucker from Nevada lost control of his eastbound rig on Highway 15, 7 km east of Dugald, at about 11:30 Tuesday morning. RCMP say a combination of slush, high winds and slippery conditions led to the crash and alcohol was not considered a factor.
