A 53-foot truck struck the top of a overpass near Montreal’s Bois-Franc station Tuesday morning, prompting a partial shutdown of the Réseau express métropolitain (REM).
The vehicle, which exceeded the bridge’s height clearance, caused minor structural damage.

No injuries were reported.
REM officials halted some services as a precaution and sent an engineer to inspect the overpass. While some sections of the network have been restored, full service has not resumed.
A shuttle bus is running between Côte-de-Liesse and Bois-Franc to support affected commuters.
Henri-Bourassa Street remains open to vehicle traffic, and authorities expect the impacted area to reopen once inspections confirm the structure is safe.
