A 24-year-old man was taken to hospital Tuesday morning after his pickup truck ended up on its roof after falling from Anthony Henday Drive onto Parsons Road.

Around 4 a.m., the Ford F-150 reportedly lost control while driving westbound on the Anthony Henday and struck several guardrails before vaulting from the overpass, police said.

According to officers, the driver was conscious when fire rescue extracted him from the truck. He was treated and taken to hospital as a precaution, and has since been released.

The major collisions unit is investigating. Alcohol is being considered a factor in the collision.

Parsons Road is closed in both directions between 13 Avenue and Ellerslie Road.

Traffic on the Anthony Henday westbound was reduced to two lanes at Gateway Boulevard this morning, but has since returned to normal.
