Dump truck box blows away Highway 400 sign

by  • 

Highway 400 was closed at mid-morning as the transportation department worked to remove an overhead sign at Teston Road that was heavily damaged before dawn by a dump truck with the box up. The structure of the sign has been damaged by the truck so the supports of the sign will have to be removed along with the sign, OPP said. (Note to dump truck engineers: They put rear view signals in cars. How about something on the dashboard that alerts a driver that the box is up? Or do they just like to bomb around this way?)  Photo:video capture CP24.
