Highway traffic slowed to a crawl after a rollover crash on the Trans-Canada Highway in Nanaimo on Saturday afternoon.
The single-vehicle crash, involving a Mazda pickup, happened at 1:45 p.m. in the southbound lanes of the highway just before the Duke Point Highway off-ramp.
Crews on scene said the female driver of the pickup, who was the sole occupant of the vehicle, was taken to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital with unknown but non-life-threatening injuries.
Crews said water pooling on the highway was a likely factor in the crash.
The crash scene blocked three out of four southbound lanes and backed up southbound traffic, including vehicles coming from the Nanaimo Parkway.
