Driver uninjured after semi-truck flips in Malakwa

A semi-truck driver was uninjured after the vehicle flipped on the Trans-Canada Highway near Malakwa, B.C.

Sicamous RCMP responded to a report of the incident early Monday morning, March 16.

Sgt. Murray McNeil of the Sicamous RCMP said road conditions were poor, with limited visibility and heavy snow falling. “The driver of a westbound semi truck lost control and skidded across the westbound lanes into the centre median,” he said.

He added the truck flipped onto its side, partially blocking the westbound lane. A heavy wrecker later removed the vehicle and the lane reopened. No other vehicles were involved.

Despite the rollover, the driver was able to get out without injuries.
