Traffic was stopped on the Trans-Canada Highway westbound after a fiery crash at 248th Street Monday afternoon.
The highway was closed at 264th Street as emergency crews dealt with three vehicles on fire. Ambulances were in the eastbound lanes attending to people.
含羞草研究社淚t looks like one vehicle rear ended another and ruptured a fuel tank, and caused a fuel spread which then ignited all three vehicles,含羞草研究社 said Russ Jenkins, Langley Township deputy fire chief.
Involved were a Dodge Ram pickup truck, and BMW and Volkswagen passenger vehicles.
含羞草研究社淚t looks like all three occupants were out of the vehicles when our crews got there,含羞草研究社 he said.
Trucks responded from three Township fire halls to take part in water shuttling from 264th Street area.
含羞草研究社淏ecause there含羞草研究社檚 no hydrants on the freeway, we have to initiate our tender shuttle response,含羞草研究社 Jenkins explained.
The crews knocked down the fires and Jenkins said the highway was set to re-open soon after the crash.
