A heavy police presence along Highway 1 through Burnaby and Coquitlam backed up traffic in both directions on Tuesday afternoon.

The crashes have now been cleared, but Burnaby RCMP said they were caused by a robbery suspect travelling eastbound.

Footage from Global One’s chopper captured three incidents, two near Gaglardi Way and another near Brunette Avenue.

One of the collisions involved a vehicle and a semi and was blocking two lanes.

Further down the highway, a black truck was pulled to the side of the highway near an ambulance and a tow truck was spotted preparing to take a red vehicle away.

RCMP said the suspect vehicle was directly or indirectly involved in the collisions before stopping at Brunette Avenue. The suspect then attempted to flee on foot and was taken into custody a short time later.
