Collision between semi, overpass backs up traffic on Portage Avenue near Polo Park
A segment of westbound Portage Avenue in Winnipeg was blocked Tuesday afternoon after a semi truck apparently hit an overpass near Polo Park mall. Traffic was backed up for several blocks in the area mid-afternoon, but Winnipeg police said in an email sent around 3:30 that traffic had returned to normal. A semi with a badly damaged shipping container could be seen just west of the overpass near Empress Street, in front of the Earl's restaurant. Gail Archer-Heese said she was travelling westbound, approaching Polo Park, when she saw traffic trying to merge out of the middle lane at around 2:30 p.m. "I thought there was a deer on the road," she said. "But then we looked up and there was debris hanging from the bridge all the way down."
