A rollover crash Friday afternoon has traffic backed up on Highway 1 in Burnaby.

Emergency crews were called to the westbound lanes of the highway before the Willingdon overpass at 3:36 p.m. for a rollover, according assistant fire Chief Craig Matsumura.

Three vehicles were involved, he said, including one that flipped onto its side, but no injuries have been reported.

“Everybody was able to get out on their own,” Matsumura said.

Fire crews are still at the scene blocking some lanes as they clear the accident. 

“Traffic will be backed up for a while,” Matsumura said. “RCMP are going to try and get them pushed off to the side and out of the way pretty quick. There’s no injuries, so it shouldn’t take that long.”
