According to B.C. Emergency Health Services, police and paramedics were called to the 8500 block of Greenfield Drive, not far from the intersection of Francis and No. 3 roads, around 4:30 p.m.

Three ambulance vehicles were dispatched, including an advanced life support unit and a supervisor, an EHS spokesperson told CTV News.
