An early morning crash in Burnaby toppled a traffic light pole, leading to a road closure.

Authorities say the two-vehicle crash at Kingsway and Royal Oak Avenue happened just after 5 a.m. and one of the vehicles struck a light pole.

Around 7 a.m., a Burnaby RCMP spokesperson told CTV News it was unclear when the intersection would reopen and drivers should plan to take an alternate route.

Information on the causes of the collision and who was seriously injured is not yet available.

Footage from the scene shows a damaged van on the sidewalk and the traffic light pole crossing the intersection.
