Licences suspended for company whose truck hit B.C. highway overpass, minister says

Rob Fleming calls the crash and other similar incidents this year"outrageous" and says there will likely be a criminal investigation into the latest case since the driver fled the scene.

Fleming says it's the 10th time this year an overpass has been hit, and the province has stepped up efforts to"get that down to zero," with measures including heavy fines and clearance-checking tools for mobile phones. Fleming says the suspension of the trucking company's fleet will not be rescinded until after the investigation and a safety audit is completed, and the firm complies with any directions."In this instance, we've imposed really the strongest deterrent that we could," Fleming says."It will send a message to the industry, there's no question about it. This is going to cost this company significantly.
