Semi-trailer strikes Ladner Trunk Road overpass on Highway 99, closing southbound lanes

A southbound white Kenworth tractor-trailer struck the Ladner Trunk Road overpass on Highway 99 in Delta on Wednesday, November 4, 2026. Police received the call at 10:39 a.m. The strike caused visible damage to the overpass and forced the closure of both southbound lanes on Highway 99 as well as the Ladner Trunk Road overpass itself, according to a BC Highway Patrol news release reported by the Delta Optimist, North Delta Reporter, Global News BC and other outlets.

None of the news reports from the Delta Optimist, North Delta Reporter, Global News BC or Vancouver Sun mentioned any injuries. The driver of the tractor-trailer stopped at the scene. BC Highway Patrol and Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement officers were working to determine the exact cause of the collision, according to the Delta Optimist.

BC Highway Patrol, which is RCMP assigned to provincial highways, is leading the investigation. Officers were also working with Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement, known as CVSE, the branch of the Ministry of Transportation that checks commercial vehicles on BC roads, according to the BC Highway Patrol news release carried by the Delta Optimist and Global News BC.

BC Highway Patrol is asking anyone who witnessed the collision, or who has dashcam footage of events leading up to it, to call the BC Highway Patrol Burnaby office at 604-526-9744 and quote file number (1004) 2026-1918. This request was made in the official news release on November 4, as reported by the Delta Optimist, North Delta Reporter and other outlets.

The Vancouver Sun reported that the November 4 collision was the eighth overpass strike in BC in 2026 and the 85th since the BC Ministry of Transportation began keeping a tally in late 2021. That tally covers strikes at overpasses across the provincial highway network. The Vancouver Sun noted that strikes at this same overpass have happened before.

Yes. The Vancouver Sun described the November 4 collision as 'another overpass' being hit, implying prior incidents on the same stretch of road. The North Delta Reporter has covered previous overpass strikes at this location. The BC Ministry of Transportation has tracked overpass strikes province-wide since late 2021, with 85 recorded as of this collision.

The overpass carries Ladner Trunk Road over Highway 99 in Ladner, the southernmost of Delta's three communities. Highway 99 runs north from the US border through Delta toward the George Massey Tunnel and Vancouver. The overpass is near Boundary Bay Airport, Global News BC reported.

BC Ministry of Transportation runs DriveBC at drivebc.ca, which shows road closures and delays in real time across the provincial highway network. The BC Highway Patrol news release on November 4 directed drivers to drivebc.ca to check when the road would reopen, as reported by the Delta Optimist and North Delta Reporter.
