Motorcycle in Hwy 5 crash

UPDATE 5:40 p.m.

Southbound traffic is moving again on the Coquihalla Highway near Mine Creek (Exit 231), following a serious crash involving a motorcycle.

According to DriveBC, traffic is moving, although, due to the length of the original delay, motorists can expect travel to be extremely slow in the area of the crash.


UPDATE: 4:20 p.m.

Traffic is backed up for kilometres on the Coquihalla Highway after a serious crash Friday.

Drive BC says there is still a lane closure in effect in the southbound lane near Mine Creek (Exit 231), and warns to expect delays.
