A late Friday afternoon crash at about 265th Street closed Lougheed Highway.

Police received the call about 4:15 p.m.

Emergency crews ended up stopping traffic in all four lanes so a medical helicopter could land at the scene.

Ridge Meadows RCMP Sgt. Kirby Adams said the crash involves multiple vehicles but as of about 5 p.m. did not have information about the number of vehicles involved nor the extent of injuries.

“We can anticipate delays into early evening,” he said.

Adams said the police were trying to stop traffic in the area of 240th Street so it could be rerouted to Dewdney Truck Road.
