Quesnel RCMP investigating hit-and-run that caused extensive damage to bridge

QUESNEL — Mounties in Quesnel are investigating a hit-and-run that caused extensive damage to the Quesnel River Bridge earlier this week.

Quesnel RCMP Sgt. Richard Weseen says it happened at approximately 11:40 a.m. Monday morning.

“A northbound transport truck struck the bridge guard rails and failed to remain at the scene. The damage to the bridge was extensive and initial estimates were over $30,000.”

He says witnesses provided a licence plate of a blue transport truck which was later confirmed not to be the suspect vehicle.
