A multi-vehicle crash, which sent one car on top of another, led to major delays for those heading north on the Alex Fraser Bridge during the Thursday morning commute.

The crash happened in the centre northbound lane, right before the Cliveden exit. It was cleared just before 8 a.m.

“There’s six cars involved — one of them managed to get out of the way and it’s gone now, so we’re down to five cars. But one of these vehicles is right underneath the other one, so it’s a big mess here,” Darren Grieve from the CityNews 1130 Air Patrol said just after 6:30 a.m.

Traffic was backing up quickly along Highway 91.

There is currently no word on any potential injuries.
