This walking bridge in Morden is significantly damaged

 

The walking bridge connecting North and South Railway on 9th Street in Morden was damaged early Monday morning when a semi trailer hit it while attempting to turn onto South Railway.

Morden Police Service Sergeant Brent Menzies says after the incident the driver of the semi fled the scene, and officers were forced to track him down in Morden.

He says damages so far are estimated at about $12,000, but Menzies feels once repairs begin, that number could increase.

He adds the accident is still under investigation and charges are pending.
