The truck was travelling southbound on Knight Street when it struck the overpass at Bridgeport Road.
Richmond RCMP determined that the commercial vehicle was towing a dump trailer in the raised (vertical) position and it failed to clear the overpass.
The commercial vehicle was located some distance away as it was severed from the trailer unit, still lodged underneath the overpass.
