Police are trying to determine what caused a truck to lose control and crash into Hyack Square Thursday afternoon.
The accident happened around 2 p.m. when a truck travelling south on Eighth Street lost control and went through the lights at the bottom of the hill, hitting a concrete bench on the east side of Hyack Square.
The driver of the truck was OK and no bystanders were injured. Investigators are now inspecting the vehicle to see if they can find the cause of the crash, according to Acting Sgt. Jeff Scott with the New Westminster police.
“Our traffic unit’s investigating so I believe they’ll be looking at the vehicle’s mechanical suitability to see if it was any sort of mechanical issues … that may have led up to the collision,” Scott said.
