A semi-truck carrying logging equipment slammed into an east Edmonton overpass earlier this week .

The impact caused extensive damage to the overpass, closing northbound and southbound lanes on 34 Street and westbound traffic on Sherwood Park Freeway for an indefinite amount of time.

The company that owns the vehicle was issued nine tickets worth more than $13,000 in fines.

RCMP issued five tickets that require a court appearance, and the driver could face a possible fine.
