The top of the vehicle’s cube collided with a large overhanging branch late Sunday morning as the vehicle was navigating its way down Mountjoy Avenue, a narrow sidestreet off Beach Drive.

The collision neither caused any injuries, nor did it cut any powerlines, according to officials on scene.
Crews with Oak Bay parks and recreation have since arrived on scene to separate the vehicle.
