Several trees have been damaged or completely toppled along Roblin Boulevard in Charleswood Saturday morning.
Winnipeg police said the Traffic Units were helping with move of a home down the road, for which the moving company had obtained a permit.
Officers confirmed the dimensions of the load matched what was on the permit, but once the trailer reached Roblin Boulevard, police say it was evident the operator had not confirmed the accessibility of the route.

City of Winnipeg Forestry officials will determine the least impactful way to continue with the move.
