Trucks collide on Trans Canada Highway bridge in Shuswap

It was a bit of a mess after semi trucks on the Trans Canada Highway collided on the Tappen Bridge near Tappen Valley Road.

RCMP say the drivers accused each other of crossing the center line which lead to the crash.

“Both trucks and trailers were heavily damaged which resulted in debris and cargo being strewn over a 200 to 300 meter stretch of the highway,” Staff Sgt. Scott West said.

West said the crash and clean-up led to traffic issues, and both vehicles were towed from the scene.
