Southbound Pat Bay Highway crash snarls morning commute

Crash backs up highway traffic around 8 a.m.

Commuters heading south on the Pat Bay Highway (Highway 17) experienced significant delays this morning following a three-vehicle collision near Island View Road.

The incident, which occurred around 8 a.m., quickly caused traffic to back up as far as Mount Newton X Road.

Fortunately, despite the extensive traffic disruption, there appear to be no injuries reported.

All drivers were observed standing outside their vehicles at the scene.

Central Saanich RCMP and a fire crew arrived shortly to manage the incident. 

Traffic on Pat Bay Highway returned to normal after an hour.
