Some gnarled logs are lying on an underpass in Revelstoke after the truck that was carrying them failed to fit the whole load under the railroad bridge.

Annie Mal Bisson posted the photo to a local Revelstoke Facebook page today, June 22.

“Just a reminder to stay far away from logging trucks,” reads her post.
