Crews prepare to remove a pickup truck which was crashed and abandoned on Wintergreen Road just north of Balsam Avenue.
Of all things to end up atop, the truck came to rest on a high-pressure gas main service connection.
The protective metal pipe fence around the valve assembly did its job, for the most part...
...but the truck still managed to come to rest with its weight being borne entirely by the valve itself!
Crews from ATCO Gas and a local crane company work to help remove the vehicle from the gas main.
The gas main held up rather well to the stress, from all appearances.
The truck itself, though, seems to have seen better days...
