Accident closes Trans-Canada through Fraser Valley

The Trans-Canada Highway was closed in both directions near Bridal Falls in B.C.'s Fraser Valley on Friday afternoon because of a collision involving a tractor-trailer and a personal vehicle.

Crews blocked off a six-kilometre portion of the highway east of Vancouver and Chilliwack at 12:30 p.m. PT.

By about 2 p.m. PT, there was no indication when the highway would re-open.

The closure also affects the junction with Highway 9.
