Traffic was stopped on the Trans-Canada Highway westbound after a fiery crash at 248th Street Monday afternoon.

The highway was closed at 264th Street as emergency crews dealt with three vehicles on fire. Ambulances were in the eastbound lanes attending to people.

B次元官网网址淚t looks like one vehicle rear ended another and ruptured a fuel tank, and caused a fuel spread which then ignited all three vehicles,B次元官网网址� said Russ Jenkins, Langley Township deputy fire chief.

Involved were a Dodge Ram pickup truck, and BMW and Volkswagen passenger vehicles.

B次元官网网址淚t looks like all three occupants were out of the vehicles when our crews got there,B次元官网网址� he said.

Trucks responded from three Township fire halls to take part in water shuttling from 264th Street area.

B次元官网网址淏ecause thereB次元官网网址檚 no hydrants on the freeway, we have to initiate our tender shuttle response,B次元官网网址� Jenkins explained.

The crews knocked down the fires and Jenkins said the highway was set to re-open soon after the crash.
