New Westminster crash sends 1 to hospital

One person has been sent to hospital after a serious crash involving a semi truck in New Westminster Monday morning.

The New Westminster Police Department (NWPD) says a section of Stewardson Way near 12th Street is closed following the crash shortly before 11 a.m.

The truck’s load appears to have come loose and pushed through the back of the cab.

BC Emergency Health Services says one ambulance attended the scene of the crash, and paramedics treated one patient who was “transported to hospital in critical condition.”

The NWPD says there is currently no estimated time for reopening. Drivers are advised to take 3rd Avenue or 6th Avenue to avoid closures or delays near the intersection.
