Truck Towing Excavator Strikes Surrey’s 192 Overpass, Closing Highway 1 Lane

An inspection is underway with potential enforcement under B.C.’s tougher penalties.

Overview

  • Motorists reported the strike just before 9:30 a.m., involving a truck towing an excavator on a flat-deck trailer.
  • The eastbound right lane at the 192 Street overpass remains closed and drivers should expect delays.
  • RCMP reported visible damage and the Ministry of Transportation is conducting safety checks before full reopening.
  • BC Highway Patrol and CVSE are investigating possible violations under provincial rules that allow fines up to $100,000 and jail terms up to 18 months, with escalating company-level consequences including possible fleet suspensions.
  • The site was hit in a similar incident nearly four years ago involving another excavator-towing truck that left two people hospitalized.
