A truck driver has been charged under the Manitoba Highway Traffic Act after his semi-trailer struck the Canadian Pacific bridge in Kemnay on Thursday and spilled thousands of dollars of frozen pork.

Mubarak Khan, 35, of Surrey, B.C., faces one count of disobeying a traffic control device, namely a set of flashing lights informing trucks to take a detour around a low bridge.

Police say his grey 2016 freightliner struck the bridge and busted open, exposing more than $100,000 worth of pork.
