Tractor trailer gets stuck in snow bank in Burnside

Specialized towing equipment had to be brought in to remove a tractor trailer that had become stuck in a snow bank at a busy intersection in the Burnside Industrial Park.

Halifax Regional Police say the truck became stuck at the intersection of Wright Avenue and Windmill Road just before noon on Monday.

Spokesman Const. Pierre Bourdages said the truck went over a snow bank when making a turn and was stuck in the snow on a 30 to 40 degree angle.

Traffic was closed at the intersection, except for the inbound lanes on Windmill Road, for about 90 minutes until the truck was finally freed. Metro Halifax
