Clearbrook Road closed for downed lines

Clearbrook Road in Abbotsford is closed in both directions Tuesday as emergency crews respond to electrical lines knocked down by a commercial truck.

The Abbotsford Police Department (AbbyPD) says it was called to the scene around 5 p.m.

Clearbrook Road is closed between South Fraser Way and Hillcrest Avenue.

Police say the closure is due to “an oversized commercial vehicle load taking out numerous communications lines.”

The Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement team is on scene and no injuries have been reported.

The AbbyPD says there is no estimated time for when the road will reopen.

A photo from the scene shows a commercial tractor-trailer with an undetermined load covered in orange tarps.

Despite appearances, AbbyPD says it’s not the same truck as the one hauling a similar-looking load involved in an overpass strike in Chilliwack earlier Tuesday. Police say the trucks belong to two separate companies, but the loads belong to the “same shipper.”
