A stolen pumper truck was crashed into a car dealership and started a fire that closed down the Langley Bypass early this morning.

The driver rammed through gates and parked cars before crashing into the building, setting it on fire about 2:45 a.m.

The busy commuter route was closed until 8 a.m.

The roof of the dealership collapsed in the three-alarm fire.

The truck appears to have been stolen from Super Save Group, about five minutes east on the bypass.

One person was seen fleeing from the truck, police say.
