Combine the Carriage Returns into one line

I want to remove the "\+ Carrige Return" in the following text file:

id|column1|column2|comment|
1|aaa|bbb|he is great|
2|aa2|bb2|she is good|
3|aa3|bb3| fgf\
fgf\
gg|
4|aa4|bb4|bbb\
nnn\|
5|aa5|bb5|gggg|

After convert:

id|column1|column2|comment|
1|aaa|bbb|he is great|
2|aa2|bb2|she is good|
3|aa3|bb3| fgf fgf gg|
4|aa4|bb4|bbb nnn|
5|aa5|bb5|gggg|
