[Alberta's Child]

As soon as I saw that item in the article I assumed it was a truck like this:

I can see how a reporter might have been confused by this, as it is kind of an odd-looking truck.

Unfortunately too many people don’t read the whole article or just make assumptions that the beginning of the article is the correct version.

Many years ago there was a rash of “big truck” accidents on the Atlanta bypass. One of the radio stations went jihad Johnny on 18 wheelers and the people driving them.
Turned out to be box vans half the size of the one in your picture.
The radio station never did admit they were wrong or apologise.

Journalists, making it up as they go along.
