A trailer carrying a mobile home didn't quite squeeze under an overpass near Leduc on Saturday.

A video from Påul Wåtkins, who witnessed the incident, shows a truck carrying a house make the bold attempt to drive under a bridge near Leduc. Watkins said it was the Highway 2 overpass on Highway 39.

But Wåtkins had a feeling the heavy load wasn't going to make it under the bridge unscathed.

"It ain't fittin'. You ain't fittin'," Wåtkins said in the video as the trucker started to drive under the bridge. "Don't do it!"

The video features some colourful language.

Nevertheless, the driver persisted — until some of the shingles on the roof appeared to get scraped off by the bottom of the overpass.

"There goes the roof," Watkins said.

Police said they received calls about traffic being backed up in the area at about 1 p.m. on Saturday, but by the time they got there, the truck and house were gone.

Damage to home to be assessed Monday

Brenda Hehr, sales manager with Best Buy Homes, said the mobile home belongs to one of her clients. It was travelling from Red Deer to an acreage just outside of Leduc.

She said she was shocked when she watched Wåtkins's video of her client's new home getting stuck under the overpass.

"I was heartbroken when I saw it," Hehr said.

Based on the video, she said it looks like a few shingles and the ridge cap on top of the modular home could have been damaged.

Hehr said she has spoken to the driver of the trailer to learn more about what happened. An assessment of the damage to the home is scheduled for Monday.

Hehr said her clients hope the home isn't too badly damaged.

"They were upset because it's their brand new home and they need to be in it by the end of April," she said.
