Logging truck mishap causes delays on Highway 97 in Prince George

PRINCE GEORGE — Motorists travelling through Prince George are being advised to expect delays after a logging truck became stranded on the median near the intersection of Highway 16 and Highway 97.

The incident occurred just past the busy junction and has resulted in the closure of one lane in each direction on Highway 97 as crews assess the situation and work to clear the scene.

The logging truck appears to have left the roadway and come to rest on the median separating northbound and southbound traffic. The crash also appears to have brought down a utility pole located near the highway, creating additional concerns for responding crews.

Visible damage can be seen on the truck, although the extent of the damage and whether any injuries were sustained has not been confirmed.
