Foothills Boulevard had to be closed Saturday after the construction boom blocked the road
A Prince George woman narrowly escaped injury when she swerved in her car at the last second to avoid colliding with boom lift crane that hit the CN Rail bridge on Foothills Boulevard Saturday afternoon.She said she was northbound on Foothills when a truck carrying the crane struck the bridge. The impact caused the 120-foot boom lift to be detached from its base, sending it directly into her lane in front of her.
MacDonald avoided the flying machinery but her car, a Volkswagen Jetta, did not come out of it unscathed. “I was in shock about what happened. It felt like everything was coming at me in slow-mo, so I was swerving hard, swerving left, swerving right, it was the craziest incident I’ve had in a long time. It was a huge crash.”
