Collision between semi, overpass backs up traffic on Portage Avenue near Polo Park
Traffic was backed up for several blocks in the area mid-afternoon, but Winnipeg police said in an email sent around 3:30 that traffic had returned to normal.
A semi with a badly damaged shipping container could be seen just west of the overpass near Empress Street, in front of the Earl's restaurant.
Gail Archer-Heese said she was travelling westbound, approaching Polo Park, when she saw traffic trying to merge out of the middle lane at around 2:30 p.m.
"I thought there was a deer on the road," she said. "But then we looked up and there was debris hanging from the bridge all the way down."

Police in York Region have arrested a doctor on sexual assault charges. York's Criminal Investigations Bureau have charged a doctor with sexual assault after a victim reported two incidences. Police say the person attended a medical clinic on Markham Road. During the visit, the person said the doctor touched them in a sexual manner. The victim left immediately and reported the incident to the police. While telling police of the experience, the person also recalled a previous appointment at the same clinic in November 2023, when the doctor's actions were also inappropriate. At that time, the person didn't report the event because they believed the conduct might have been part of a legitimate medical procedure. Police are asking the public to review the photo of Dr. Saber Abdel Malouka Abdel Malak, 62, of Whitchurch-Stouffville who has been a physician for more than 30 years.
