NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C. — One person is in custody after a serious accident damaged 30 vehicles and temporarily shut down a busy Metro Vancouver bridge.

A northbound car crossing the Pattullo Bridge in New Westminster, B.C., straddled the centre line and began driving over pylon dividers just before 6:30 p.m. on Thursday.

A witness driving past the vehicle in the opposite direction said he saw the driver hit a pole, which smashed her windshield before striking other vehicles.

Other vehicles were hit either by cars or flying pylons.

There were no serious injuries.
