UPDATE: 3:35 p.m.

DriveBC reports Highway 1 near Golden is now open following a vehicle incident.

They caution that while the road is open to traffic, drivers should expect major delays due to backed-up congestion. 

ORIGINAL: 12:30 p.m.

A crash has closed the Trans-Canada Highway near Golden Saturday.

The incident occurred at about noon, west of Golden, near the Redgrave rest area.

The nature of the incident is unclear at this time, but webcams show traffic is backed up.

DriveBC does not have an estimate as to when the highway will reopen.

A person was killed in a crash on the same highway, east of Revelstoke, earlier in the week.
