White Rock’s Oxford Street was temporarily closed on Sunday after a truck lost traction and plowed into a house.
White Rock RCMP said the steep hill was closed by the City of White Rock due to road oil being brought to the surface by rain.
“Traction uphill can be a challenge in these conditions,” police said in a tweet. “Truck lost uphill traction & ended up sliding backward into a house.”
Nobody was injured in the incident but police report “significant” property damage.
