It happened on Nov. 9 at the Logan Lake onramp, according to a spokesperson for Skilled Truckers Canada. The driver was not harmed, they said in an online exchange.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure reminds drivers that speed limits should only be reached when conditions are ideal. When the weather turns, it’s important to reduce speed, increase your following distance, and accelerate and brake more smoothly.
