A wire was down on the vehicle, so firefighters had to wait for BC Hydro to confirm power was disconnected before using the jaws of life to roll the roof back and remove the driver from the vehicle.
The driver has been taken to hospital in unknown condition.
Canada Way was closed for several hours.
