Clairmont RCMP say that “the status of the driver is unknown” after a vehicle went over the Wapiti Bridge on Highway 40 Tuesday morning (June 16).

Mounties say the report came in just after 9 a.m.

Police say what they call “a large commercial vehicle” is still underwater.

RCMP, firefighters, and search and rescue volunteers were all called in.

One southbound lane on Highway 40 has re-opened.

511 Alberta says the speed limit is down to 50 km/h in that area.

The investigation continues.
