An incident involving a transport truck with an overheight load near an overpass is slowing traffic along Highway 1 through Langley.
Langley RCMP declined to comment on the incident, instead referring questions to the BC Highway Patrol. That service has not answered a request for comment about what happened.
Photos from the scene show a truck pulled to the side of the westbound lanes near the 232nd Street overpass.

Metro Vancouver Overpass Impact Counter shared the user-submitted photos, but there was some confusion as to whether the truck actually hit the overpass. At first, the account said it was a near-miss, but later, witnesses said the truck appeared to have damage to the front of its box.
I’ve now heard a report that the load has damage to the front of the box of the load and is on the other side of the overpass.
It seems this is longer a near miss. @AM730Traffic @CityNewsTraffic @TranBC @DriveBC https://t.co/2kt1KXzTaO

Daily Hive has reached out to the driver who apparently tried to warn the truck driver about the overheight load.
