The creek created a new channel late Thursday, taking with it a large industrial trailer which is now wedged against one of the bridge’s pillars.

The Ministry of Transportation showed up at the scene early Friday morning.

Meantime, the home on the property is on the verge of being washed down Mission Creek.

A good portion of the home’s foundation  eroded overnight, leaving half of the structure hanging over the creek.

More details to come.
