Brandon Manitoba - A derailed train car crashed into an overpass in Brandon in the early morning
hours of Thursday.
The incident took place at around 01:45 when a CPKC train derailed under the Daly overpass.
According to the Brandon Police Service, three cars left the track and at least one crashed into one of the overpass'
concrete supports.
Police note that the support sustained visible damage and efforts are underway to determine if its strength and safety
have been impacted.
The three train cars were not carrying any hazardous materials.
Due to the derailment, northbound and southbound 18th Street is closed on both sides of the Daly overpass.
The closure will remain in place until an accurate safety assessment of the overpass can be conducted.
Those who are driving in the area should use alternate routes including 1st Street, 26th Street, or 34th
Street.
