Another overpass has been hit in Saskatchewan, except this time, just outside of Saskatoon near the Borden Bridge about half an hour northwest of the city.
It happened just before noon on Sept. 2 on the Yellowhead Highway heading west.
This is at least the seventh time a vehicle has struck an overpass or train bridge in the province this year.

Saskatoon alone has seen five of those incidents, with the last strike happening in July, when a semi hauling a grain bin hit the 51st Street overpass on Idylwyld Drive.
The most expensive was the first one on March 5, when a semi hauling an excavator slammed into the Highway 16 overpass above Highway 11, causing more than $280,000 in damages.

Given the number of overpass crashes, perhaps Premier Moe should consider projects to raise the low overpasses in his province.
And with all these incidents nationwide, the media never names the drivers. Gee, I wonder why?
Looks like Saskatchewan has employed the Socialist B.C. Commercial Drivers Test and has had to applicants pass the skills portion.
We all know the driver was wearing flip flops and can’t speak English. Enough is enough.
