Thick, black smoke can be seen billowing into the sky, and traffic along Highway 5 has almost come to a full stop.

A Castanet reader has sent us pictures of what appears to be a multi-vehicle accident just outside Hope on Highway 5.

Drive BC is reporting a northbound vehicle incident near Box Canyon and drivers should expect 30 minute delays.

Traffic is apparently backed up for about 5 kilometres.

There are no other details at this time. 

Castanet will update the story as more information becomes available.
