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.
