A truck driver has been charged after a transport truck hit the Highway 400 overpass in Innisfil, Ont., and the driver left the scene, South Simcoe police say.
Officers say they were called to Innisfil Beach Road and Highway 400 on Monday afternoon for a report of a truck hitting a bridge.
According to police, the crash caused “significant damage” to the overpass and forced the closure of Innisfil Beach Road between the off- and on-ramps of Highway 400 for about two hours.
