Alarming trend on the Coquihalla
MERRITT — VSA Highway Maintenance, the company that contracts a portion of the Coquihalla Highway is again warning of a dangerous trend.
Spokesperson Bob Gilowski says earlier this week, a transport truck struck a maintenance vehicle on the highway.
This is one of a handful of incidents already this Winter since the snow has fallen on the route.
Gilowski says, “the details of it I don’t know exactly, but it’s a result of a driver of a vehicle not paying attention to the yellow flashing lights of a plow truck and came too close to our vehicle, colliding with it.”
