By mid-morning, the bed of the truck was still resting against the overpass. RCMP said they could not comment on whether the cab separated from the bed in the crash or whether it had been towed away.

Cpl. Dennis Hwang initially said the driver was co-operating with investigators.

But in a news release sent out at 3:30 pm PT by Richmond RCMP, Hwang said the driver of the commercial vehicle was not co-operating with them.

“It was determined that a commercial vehicle was towing a dump trailer in the raised position and it failed to clear the overpass,” Hwang said.

“The commercial vehicle was located some distance away as it was severed from the trailer unit.”

RCMP said no injuries were reported and the Richmond Road Safety Unit has taken over the investigation.
