The southbound lanes of Knight Street have been shut down after a commercial truck hit an overpass in Richmond, B.C., on Friday.

A statement from RCMP said the truck hit the Cambie Road overpass, just south of the Knight Street Bridge, around 7:15 a.m. PT. The road closures will continue while officials confirm whether the overpass is stable.

“We do not have any timelines at the moment, but we are sympathetic to travellers. We strongly suggest re-routing,” RCMP said.

The City of Richmond said the highway falls under provincial jurisdiction, but city teams are looking at the overpass.

“City staff are working to undertake a structural examination of the bridge to ensure it is safe for traffic. That will occur throughout the day, and we hope to reopen the overpass as quickly as possible,” said a statement from the City of Richmond.

By mid-morning, the bed of the truck was still resting against the overpass. RCMP said they could not comment on whether the cab separated from the bed in the crash or whether it had been towed away.

Cpl. Dennis Hwang initially said the driver was co-operating with investigators.

But in a news release sent out at 3:30 p.m. PT by Richmond RCMP, Hwang said the driver of the commercial vehicle was not co-operating with them.

“It was determined that a commercial vehicle was towing a dump trailer in the raised position and it failed to clear the overpass,” Hwang said.

“The commercial vehicle was located some distance away as it was severed from the trailer unit.”

RCMP said no injuries were reported and the Richmond Road Safety Unit has taken over the investigation.

The RSU will be working with B.C.’s Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to conduct engineering and structural assessments of the Knight Street bridge deck, Cambie Road overpass and other nearby areas.

The collision is one of many incidents involving trucks hitting overpasses in the last year.

A string of overpass collisions in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley last summer led to truckers raising safety concerns in the region.

Last July, a crash at the Highway 1 overpass in Langley, B.C., became the eighth incidence of trucks carrying over-height loads striking overhead bridges, the province’s Transportation Ministry reported.

The B.C. Trucking Association said driver error does contribute to overpass collisions, but said the province needs to do more to improve highway infrastructure.

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) – A crash involving an overturned dump truck has closed multiple westbound lanes of US 90B on the Crescent City Connection Bridge.

The crash happened sometime before noon. Three lanes were closed initially. All westbound lanes were closed for about two hours and 45 minutes.

All lanes were reopened around 3 p.m.

Traffic was also backed up on Clearview Pkwy in Metairie approaching the Huey P. Long Bridge with drivers using the bridge as an alternate route.

Louisiana State Police are investigating the crash. Minor injuries were reported.

Ryan Seacrest has long been one of the most recognizable faces—and voices—in American entertainment. From his early days as host of American Idol, to his reign as a morning radio personality, to becoming the annual face of New Year’s Eve broadcasts, he has built a reputation as the tireless, charismatic professional who thrives in the spotlight. Yet when it comes to his personal life, Seacrest has remained an enigma. Now, in 2025, the curtain may be lifting on a new chapter: rumors are swirling that the eternal bachelor is preparing to walk down the aisle. The question on everyone’s mind? Who is the bride-to-be.

Entertainment center
For decades, Seacrest’s romantic life has been the subject of speculation. Linked to models, actresses, and most recently Aubrey Paige—whom he publicly split from in 2024—Ryan has kept his dating life under tight wraps. So when whispers of an engagement surfaced, fans were stunned. Could it be true that the man who seemed destined never to settle down is finally ready to say “I do”?

The hints began subtly, the kind of playful teases listeners of his radio show have come to recognize. On On Air with Ryan Seacrest, he joked with Kelly Ripa about “big things” ahead, brushing off her comments about rings and commitments with his trademark grin. Fans dissected the exchange, analyzing every word and gesture for hidden meaning. Around the same time, reports emerged of Ryan being spotted at Tiffany & Co., lingering in the engagement ring section—a detail that sent social media into overdrive.

Speculation over the bride’s identity has run wild, ranging from the predictable to the far-fetched. Some insist she must be a Hollywood insider—perhaps an actress or producer who has quietly been part of his world for years. Others suggest a surprising crossover, pointing to his behind-the-scenes ties with the Kardashian-Jenner empire. A few even fantasize about chance encounters at his star-studded New Year’s Eve countdowns blossoming into romance.

But insiders hint at a very different story. According to those closest to him, the woman at the center of the buzz isn’t seeking fame. She’s not a regular in tabloids, nor someone chasing the spotlight. Instead, she’s someone Ryan has known for years—described as his “rock,” someone who provides stability and grounding in a life often defined by chaos. For fans, the idea that Seacrest has chosen someone outside the glitz of Hollywood has only deepened admiration, suggesting he has found a partner who sees him not as a  celebrity, but as a man.

If the engagement rumors prove true, the wedding itself will likely strike a balance between elegance and privacy. Some believe he’ll opt for a lavish yet intimate ceremony, perhaps at The Plaza in New York or a secluded villa in Greece. Given his reputation for producing polished, high-profile events, few doubt that the celebration—whatever form it takes—will carry his signature blend of sophistication and charm. What remains uncertain is how much, if any, he will share with the public. Will fans see carefully curated photos, or will Ryan guard the moment fiercely, keeping it strictly within his circle of family and friends?

One thing is certain: the thought of Ryan Seacrest finally settling down resonates deeply with his audience. Fans who have followed his career for decades are eager to see him embrace this next stage—not only because of who he may be marrying, but because it represents growth and vulnerability. At 50, with an empire spanning television, radio, and production, Seacrest seems ready to prove that even the busiest man in Hollywood can make room for love.

In many ways, the possibility feels like a natural evolution. Seacrest has built his brand on adaptability—host, producer, entrepreneur—and “husband” would only add depth to his story. Whether the woman at his side turns out to be a familiar face or a private figure long removed from the spotlight, his choice reflects something deeper: a bond strong enough to balance the demands of a relentless career.

As speculation builds, one truth remains: Ryan Seacrest has once again mastered the art of anticipation. Just as he has throughout his career, he keeps fans buzzing, curious, and eager for the big reveal. Until the ring—or the announcement—appears, the mystery itself may be part of the magic.
