Semi-truck cause for evening caution on Highway 1 in Swift Current
There was an incident involving a semi-truck and trailer just before one of the North Service Road exits on the Trans-Canada Highway in Swift Current. A driver looking to stop in at the Esso missed his turn, mistaking tracks in the dirt for the actual turnoff. He was safely towed out of the way, preventing a further hazard to motorists. A first responder on the scene reported that the driver may have been distracted, leading to the incident. "He wasn't paying attention to the road," claimed the responder. "[He said] he was looking down at his phone, and next thing you know he didn't make it very far."
