Officers said they found the equipment on the truck was too high, crashing into the bridge and lodging the semi.

Authorities said a tow company was called in to clear the vehicle and free up the lane so traffic could pass through.

The police said that CPKC, the railway formerly known as CP Rail, was also made aware of the incident so it could make sure the bridge was in safe shape.

Traffic in the area was affected for about two hours, police said.
