A semi-truck struck a bridge in downtown Calgary, closing a section of road on Tuesday morning.
Calgary police say officers were called to the area of 1 Street and 9 Avenue SW around 11:35 a.m. after getting reports that a truck had hit a bridge.
No injuries were reported. There is no word on damage to the bridge.
Northbound 1 Street SW was closed for several hours between 10 Avenue and 9 Avenue while crews responded to the incident.
The collision is the latest in a series of incidents involving trucks and low-clearance rail bridges in Calgary’s downtown core.
Last month, a truck became stuck beneath the rail bridge at 1 Street SE, two blocks east of Tuesday’s collision. In August, a driver was fined after a semi-truck became stuck under the same rail bridge involved in Tuesday’s incident.
