Hamilton Police
Careless driving charges have been laid against the driver of a city of Hamilton salt truck that hit a pedestrian bridge on the Kenilworth Access.
Police say the truck’s bucket was raised when it struck the bridge Monday morning, scattering its load of salt across the upbound lanes.
Police say the driver, a 59-year-old man, suffered minor injuries and was taken to hospital as a precaution.
The road was blocked for several hours as crews worked to clean up the mess and remove the damaged truck.
Please avoid the UPBOUND lanes on the Kenilworth access. A large city truck carrying salt hit the pedestrian bridge while it had the bucket raised. The salt clean-up could take up to 4-hours. Minor injuries. #HamOnt
