One person is dead after an early morning crash in Burnaby Wednesday.

Burnaby RCMP were called to the 8300 block of Lougheed Highway, near the Production Way SkyTrain station, at about 4:30 a.m. Wednesday, according to RCMP Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis.

A light grey Honda Civic had veered off the highway and slammed into a pole on the south side of the roadway, leaving at least one occupant dead.

"It appears that speed may have been a contributing factor," Buis said.

Two lanes of Lougheed Highway remained closed Wednesday morning as RCMP continued to investigate the crash.
