The City of Saskatoon is looking for information about two collisions that caused potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage to two separate overpasses on Wednesday, December 20th.

The first collision happened at around 6:15 p.m. A southbound truck on Idylwyld Drive was hauling a large excavator exceeding height restrictions when the excavator hit and damaged girders underneath the 51st Street overpass.

The second hit-and-run happened less than an hour later. The cloverleaf overpass for Circle Drive above Highway 11 was also hit by a northbound vehicle exceeding height restrictions. This collision caused the rocky debris to fall, damaging a vehicle beside it. The driver that caused the damage did not stay at the scene.

Both overpasses are now safe and remain open to traffic. Municipalities are unable to submit infrastructure damage insurance claims through SGI, but if the driver is identified, the repair may be covered by their insurance.

Anyone who may have witnessed these incidents is asked to contact the Saskatoon Police Service.
