The driver of the northbound vehicle was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction team were called out to the scene to investigate, before Burnaby RCMP’s Criminal Collision team took conduct.

The cause has yet to be determined.

“Road safety is a responsibility that belongs to everyone that shares the road. In the dark and wet months of winter, visibility is low and road conditions are not ideal” said Burnaby RCMP’s Officer in Charge, Chief Superintendent Graham de la Gorgendiere.
