Traffic was a bit snarled in the area due to the presence of multiple emergency vehicles (RCMP and ambulance) at the cannabis shop, which is just a few metres off Ashwell Road.

A tow truck also attended the scene.

One of the entrances to the cannabis store had been closed with a rolling gate after the incident.

Fraser Valley Today has reached out to B.C. Ambulance Service to see if the motorist involved in this incident was transported to hospital.
