A collision on the Trans-Canada Highway near Blind Bay created a dangerous situation when concrete barricades were knocked into the lanes of travel.

The officer narrowly missed the barricades due to snow and limited visibility, and found a semi truck on its side in the ditch alongside the eastbound lanes. The truck香蕉视频直播檚 driver had lost control after striking the barricades.

The police car was narrowly missed by two other semi trucks, whose drivers had to take evasive action to miss the barricades amid slippery road conditions.

According to police, a westbound semi truck hit the barricades with a fishtailing trailer, knocking two or three of them from the centre median into the eastbound lanes. The westbound semi was located down the road from the barricades it had dislodged.
