According to Highlands Fire Chief Dean Ford, the incident caused authorities to shut down Millstream Rd in both ways for approximately 25 minutes.

The road has since been reopened to one lane alternating traffic.

No hydro lines were disturbed during the incident which is why there were no power outages in the area, but BC Hydro is on site to repair the pole.

The Highlands fire department is also currently on site along with West Shore RCMP and BC Ambulance Service.

According to Ford, the individual is cooperating with authorities, and a cause of the crash has not been determined yet.
