Hey there, time traveller!

An oversize load wound up crumpled and wedged under a railway bridge east of Brandon on Wednesday morning.
A semi trailer hauling a grain bin was headed south on Highway 110, the Brandon East Access Route, around 11:45 a.m. when it tried to go under the railway overpass near Highway 457 and got wedged underneath instead.
The semi trailer stopped so abruptly that a pilot vehicle behind it rear-ended the stuck grain bin as well.
The driver of the pilot vehicle was taken to hospital with minor injuries. The driver of the semi-trailer was not injured.
The crash forced the precautionary delay of an east-bound train while crews checked out the bridge.
