The North Vancouver RCMP are investigating a collision where a transport truck hit the Dollarton Highway overpass on Highway One in North Vancouver.
On September 19th, 2023 at approximately 7:00 p.m. North Vancouver RCMP were alerted of a collison on the highway. Officers attended and quickly learned that the driver had fled the scene of the accident after hitting the overpass.
At this point the driver is still outstanding and his identity remains unknown, said Cst. Mansoor Sahak of the North Vancouver RCMP. Police have followed up with the owner of the transport truck and have issued them a violation ticket for Fail to Remain at the scene of accident.

Police have followed up with the owner of the transport truck and have issued them a violation ticket for Fail to Remain at the scene of accident.
Due to concerns about the structural integrity of the overpass, the eastbound lanes of Highway One were temporarily closed to traffic, which caused significant traffic delays for the evening commuters. Engineers subsequently deemed the overpass to be structurally safe, and the crash was cleared. Just before 3:30 a.m., the highway was once again opened to traffic.
The North Vancouver RCMP are working in conjunction with Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement (CVSE) to investigate the incident.
