About an hour later, there was another crash involving several vehicles just east of the 208 Street overpass, which backed up traffic all the way to 200 Street.
It appeared at least one vehicle had ended up in the ditch.
The serious crashes reduced eastbound traffic to one lane.
Multiple police, fire and ambulance units were called to both locations.
At one point, the Township of Langley fire department had three trucks at the crash site near 232 Street crash and four at the crash near the 208 Street overpass.
