Alcohol is believed to have been a factor in a crash early Thursday morning in Burnaby where a vehicle toppled a traffic light pole.
Authorities say the two-vehicle crash at Kingsway and Royal Oak Avenue happened just after 5 a.m. Images from the scene show a damaged pickup truck on the sidewalk and the traffic light pole lying across the intersection. The investigation into the crash closed the intersection for hours.
By 1 p.m., the vehicles involved in the crash had been towed and the scene had been cleared but work to repair the traffic light was ongoing.
No serious injuries were reported.
