The driver of a semi-truck that hit an overpass in east Edmonton has been fined and asked to appear in court. The semi-truck struck the 34 Street overpass on the Sherwood Park Freeway late Monday night. RCMP issued five tickets that require a court appearance and Edmonton police issued 13 tickets worth nearly $25,000. The company that owns the semi received nine tickets for more than $13,000. The driver was also fined for “causing damage to the roadway,” RCMP said. This ticket included a mandatory court summons and a “possible fine that is equivalent to the repair costs for the damaged infrastructure.” The bridge remained closed as of Wednesday.
