From abbyPD:
On July 21st, 2023, at 8:30 AM, AbbyPD Patrol officers were called to the intersection of Marshall Rd and Sumas Way for a report of a semi-trailer transporting an extra wide load colliding with a hydro pole.
Upon attendance, members closed the intersection as the damage caused by the collision resulted in active low-hanging wires across the roadway, presenting a hazard to motorists.
Officers on scene found impairment not to be a factor, and speeds at the collision were low.
Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement (CVSE) officers are on the scene and conducting a full inspection to determine the exact cause.
Closures are estimated to be in place for the rest of the day as BC Hydro and City of Abbotsford crews repair the damage and render the area safe to traverse.
