No one was hurt after a sedan slid beneath a semi-trailer in Nelson last week.
Nelson police said the incident occurred at an intersection on Wednesday, Oct. 8.
Both drivers told officers the semi-truck was making a right-hand turn onto another street when the sedan, attempting to make a wide right turn onto the same street, crossed into the right lane.
The sedan then became trapped under the trailer’s right side.
The semi-truck was assessed and deemed safe and operable. The sedan, however, was not and was towed away from the scene.
Nelson Fire and Rescue Service also attended and helped safely remove the sedan from beneath the trailer.
“It’s important for all drivers to remember that large trucks require significantly more space to make turns, and extra caution should be taken when driving near them,” said Special Const. Taburiaux in a news release.
