If you thought you saw an out-of-place traffic light on your drive to work on March 31st, your eyes were not deceiving you.
According to the RCMP, that morning, a semi-truck hauling “some sort of heavy equipment” struck a traffic signal on Range Road 63, heading towards Bear Creek Golf Course, which allegedly continued driving- despite the incident.
Corporal Matthew Howell with the Alberta RCMP explains the driver of the vehicle was located by police, thanks in large part to calls from the community.
“There was a semi-truck that did hit the street light, there were multiple complaints that came in so RCMP was able to locate the vehicle,” he says. “After speaking with the driver of the vehicle, the driver received tickets for failing to remain at the scene of an accident.”
Additionally, the RCMP indicates that Alberta Sheriffs also spoke with the driver, no injuries have been reported, and traffic flow has resumed.
