Emergency crews are on scene on the Trans-Canada Highway for a high speed rear-end crash just south of the Helmcken Road overpass.
View Royal Fire Chief Paul Hurst said five people were transported to hospital. At this time, their injuries are not believed to be life threatening.
When firefighters arrived on scene two people were trapped inside a vehicle and needed to be extricated. A third was laying on the grassy medium receiving aid from bystanders. It was unclear if he was thrown from one of the vehicle or was able to exit it after the crash.
