After a fifth overpass strike in Saskatoon the Saskatoon Police Service says it issued a ticket for Driving without Due Care and Attention.

On Friday afternoon a semi-truck towing a trailer and a grain bin southbound on Idylwyld Drive hit the 51st Street overpass. It knocked the grain bin off the trailer, and it became wedged under the overpass. Traffic restrictions were in place for about 8-hours while the situation was dealt with.

Three additional tickets were issued by the Saskatchewan Highway Patrol, failing to complete a pre-trip inspection, over height, and failing to clear a structure.

The other four overpass strikes all took place in March.
