Chris, I got your PM...when I first tried to post the pics they were linked to my friends Facebook profile, I finally had a few mins to upload them and post them, so without further ado, here are the pics from someone who was near the scene:

Here is a picture from the Global BC page

This is a picture of the truck that went in a couple of years ago.

I was stuck in the line of cars on the highway it took us 2 and half hours to get from lickman to the yale road exit to get off the highway.

[chris gadsden]

Took a drive down to the site this after noon and the truck is still there in the middle of the Canal.

Traffic was backed up past Lickman Road as it is single lane across the bridge.
If you are coming West bound on Highway 1 turn off and come through Yarrow or across Keith Wilson Bridge as that will save you some time.

Thanks for pics/updates Folks!

Truck being removed from the Vedder this afternoon, the cab was out when I was there a few minutes ago.

Heard the truck is full of beer and some of it is floating around ... Free beer for everyone at KWB

Yes they had a container there today, not sure what they had taken from the truck but you donot like Canadian beer anyway do you?

Saw on Global News tonight the truck driver went off the bridge instead of hitting a car that had run into the back of the original truck that had jack knifed on the bridge. Put his own life at risk and saved the people in the small compact car.

I saw that article too, thought the truck driver was quite heroic taking that decision. Tough choice.

WAYNE IS THE HERO FOR 2008WAYNE IS THE HERO FOR 2008WAYNE IS THE HERO FOR 2008[/glow][/font]
According to Global news, the truck driver's name is Wayne. He deserves the HERO OF 2008 award for his heroic action. His was the second truck that came behind the 2 small cars which already crashed into the jacknifed truck. If Wayne had not taken the plunge, the people in those 2 other cras would probably be dead.
Wayne, whoever you are, you are the Christmas Angel and THE HERO FOR 2008.
THANK YOU FROM ALL OF US.THANK YOU FROM ALL OF US.THANK YOU FROM ALL OF US.THANK YOU FROM ALL OF US.

You can not wade it. I will send you some pictures I took yesterday.

Anybody know how deep the canal is at the highway bridge ?

 In the fall at low tide you could wade across from the east side but only if you knew where to wade and in the middle their is a sand bar. On the west side of the canal it is 6-8 feet deep (apx).
