If you're heading to, or from, Alberta today, you could be in for a delay.

A motor vehicle collision has forced closure of the Trans-Canada Highway from Revelstoke to Golden, a stretch of 147 kilometres.

The crash is believed to be a fatality.

Traffic is not moving in either direction, and webcam images show long lines of traffic with people outside their vehicles.
