saw the aftermath.
2 cars 1 pickup
one car on side walk
1 pole knocked over
truck and other car damaged.
If that's the carnage that can be done in a 15kph zone, Gudgeon and company are mad to want 40 around town. Better lower it to 5.

Isn't it going bye-bye at some point with the new bridge anyway? Maybe he was just doing them a favor.

And require all occupants in cars to wear motorcycle helmets

Bring back the old laws from the early 1900's that required you to have a man walking in front of your horseless carriage waving a red flag or a light if at night warning people that a horseless carriage was coming and to be on guard....Isitt & Gudgeon would love that....just imagine zero unemployment!!! They would be the envy of the Nation! true national heroes....perhaps a statue would be a fitting tribute!!!

If you dial 116, the police arrive upside-down:

An RCMP officer was not seriously hurt when his cruiser collided with a civilian vehicle at 1:15 Friday afternoon in Surrey.
Investigators have taped off the area at 108th and King George.

They're going to need more than that one-ton Westshore Towing truck to pull that out.
I wonder what's in the trailer.

Aha, so this is what we're looking at. I couldn't place the accident scene for a while.

Safe to say excessive speed is the culprit. Another photo via VictoriaBuzz:
"Beaver, ahoy!""The bridge is like a magnet, attracting both pedestrians and over 30,000 vehicles daily who enjoy the views of Victoria's harbour. The skyline may change, but "Big Blue" as some call it, will always be there."

Probably, combined with a shifting load perhaps.

They had to bring in a crane.

^thanks for that
When it comes to car crashes, we often only see the aftermath and wonder "how the heck did that happen?". With the increasing prevalence of dashcams, we're now able to see just how quickly and out of the blue crashes can happen.
No serious injuries in this crash with a cement truck:

I hope there wasn't some texting going on.
