A multi-vehicle crash on Granville Street and West 16th Avenue in Vancouver Thursday morning has left at least four people hurt and delayed an Air Canada flight to Toronto.
Three vehicles were involved in the crash that happened around 5:20 a.m.
Witnesses say a silver sedan ran a red light and slammed into a red car that was turning north onto Granville as well as the southbound taxi stopped at the light.
Two Air Canada pilots were in the taxi that was hit. They are OK but they will not be flying Thursday.
As a result, the 7 a.m. Air Canada flight from Vancouver to Toronto is now delayed until 3 p.m. It was a full flight so hundreds of people are affected.
Several people were hurt in the crash and at least three young men were seen to be loaded into ambulances on stretchers. They were conscious when they were taken to hospital.
Officials have not released any information on the crash at this time but a police officer at the scene said it is believed all of the injuries are non-life threatening.
The accident has now been cleared.
Residents who live in the area say they are not surprised an accident has happened again at this intersection.
