Drive BC says the highway was closed in both directions between Annis Road and Exit 135 for 6.1 kilometres.

Around 3 p.m. only the right lane eastbound remained closed.

Traffic was very heavy in the area all day and drivers are being urged to take extra care.

It appears the issue was a flipped semi-truck that rolled and blocked all lanes of traffic.

BC Emergency Health Services said it was called about the crash shortly before 6 a.m. and deployed two ambulances. No patients were taken to hospital.
