A motor vehicle incident closed the westbound lanes of Highway 1 in Langley Saturday evening, causing major delays for travelers.
DriveBC tweeted shortly before 6 p.m. that the highway had been closed westbound at 264th Street. The agency recommended seeking alternate routes.
CTV News Vancouver's Penny Daflos happened to be on the highway at the time of the incident. She reported seeing three fire trucks, three ambulances, and several police vehicles making their way to the scene.
BC Emergency Health Services said two people were transported to hospital from the scene in stable condition. A total of six ambulances responded, but not all of them were needed.
Video from the scene showed a minivan in a ditch on the side of the road and a sedan with damage to its front end on the roadway.
The westbound lanes of the highway were closed for roughly an hour, but congestion -- which was already significant because of an earlier incident -- took longer to clear.
