The CN Police Service and BC Highway Patrol are looking for witnesses after a truck driver reportedly sheared a rail crossing signal at the intersection of Cariboo and Government roads Monday.
Police are investigating after a truck reportedly sheared a Burnaby rail crossing signal and then took off before officers arrived.
On Monday at about 12:10 p.m., a member of the public attended the BC Highway Patrol office in Burnaby to report there was a truck stuck on the railway crossing at Cariboo and Government roads. “The truck was gone prior to police arriving on scene,” stated Highway Patrol spokesperson Const. Mike Moore. “There was significant damage to one of the crossing arms and it was down across the train track.”
Moore said the CN Police Service is investigating the incident with help from BC Highway Patrol, which is in the process of obtaining and reviewing CCTV footage from businesses in the area.“We would like to take the opportunity to remind motorists to be vigilant at railway crossings, obey any posted signage and drive with care,” Moore said.
The worker said it’s not unusual for impatient truckers to attempted the turn and damage crossing infrastructure in the process.📣 SOUND OFF: Have you seen truck drivers trying and failing to make tight turns in the city? Send us a letter.
