According to DriveBC, the highway was closed eight kilometers north of the Buckley Bay ferry terminal. There was no detour, and drivers were encouraged to use Highway 19 or alternative routes.
There is no confirmation how many people were involved in the incident, but unconfirmed reports indicate two people were taken to hospital.
The incident involved a single-vehicle silver car which was wedged in the pedestrian walkway over Hart Creek in Union Bay.
Early reports indicate alcohol and speed might have been contributing factors in the crash.
