The overpass is the fourth hit in Saskatchewan in the past three weeks, with three of those being in Saskatoon.

The first overpass was hit in the city on March 5 at Highways 11 and Highway 16, which affected traffic on both roads. The second overpass was hit on March 11, when a bridge at 108th Street was clipped by a truck. Then on March 16, a semi heading south on Highway 39 hit an overpass on Highway 1 east of Moose Jaw.

Charges have been laid against the operator of the semi after the March 5 crash, with Saskatchewan Highway Patrol charging the driver with six offences, including damage to public improvement, driving with undo care and attention, operating with a major defect, brakes out of adjustment, exceeding maximum height restrictions and failure to comply with conditions of a permit.

Charges in the March 11 crash were also laid by Saskatoon police.
