A cube van was unable to fit under a pedestrian overpass along Stanley Park Drive near the Vancouver Rowing Club on Monday.

A van driver miscalculated the clearance of a pedestrian bridge on Monday, causing damage to the vehicle.

A cube van struck the pedestrian bridge on Stanley Park Drive almost in front of the Vancouver Rowing Club around 12:15 p.m.

A witness, Gerry O’Neil, who sent photos to Global News, said the truck was coming into the park from Georgia Street when it struck the overpass.

He said there was no apparent damage to the bridge and traffic was getting through.

Global News has contacted the City of Vancouver and the Vancouver Park Board for further information.
