The impact demolished the big rig, which also burst into flames sending a thick cloud of smoke into the air. The cloud could be seen as far as the 200 Street exit into Langley.

All westbound traffic is being diverted off the busy commuter route until further notice.

A cause of the crash is under investigation.
