Truck rolls over on Highway 1 during Lower Mainland windstorm
How windy was it in the Lower Mainland yesterday? Windy enough for a transport truck to roll over on Highway 1.
Chilliwack resident Erik Dv shared video to X Monday of an orange truck getting caught by a gust and rolling sideways into the left lane.

BC Emergency Health Services received a call about a truck rollover just before 1 pm near the Annis Road off ramp. Two ambulances responded to the scene, but no one needed treatment or transport to hospital.
The region was under a wind warning from Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) for most of the day, with gusts of more than 100 kilometres per hour. The weather agency called the storm a “vigorous frontal system.”
It cut power for tens of thousands of South Coast residents, with some dealing with no electricity overnight.
ECCC is calling for a mix of sun and cloud Tuesday and Wednesday before rain returns Thursday.
