Semi-Truck Slams Into Pileup on Icy Overpass
Calgary, Alberta — November 14, 2024
A sudden winter storm transformed a major city overpass into a dangerous scene of destruction early Thursday morning. As temperatures plummeted and light snow began to fall, the bridge surface quickly became a sheet of ice, causing several vehicles to lose traction and come to a halt in the middle of the roadway.
The dramatic footage captured the moment a heavy semi-truck, unable to stop on the slick surface, barreled into the cluster of stranded cars. The massive tractor-trailer struck a red sedan and a silver sedan with immense force, while simultaneously wedging beneath a black SUV and lifting it high into the air. Bystanders can be heard shouting warnings in the background as the heavy machinery continues to slide, crushing the smaller vehicles together in a chaotic pileup.
Emergency crews arrived on the scene shortly after the collision to assist trapped motorists and clear the wreckage from the lanes. While the damage to the vehicles was extensive, preliminary reports indicate that no life-threatening injuries were sustained, though several individuals were treated for shock and minor abrasions at the scene. Local police have since issued a travel advisory, reminding drivers that bridges and overpasses freeze much faster than standard road surfaces during rapid cold snaps.
