The intersection of Bradner and King roads in Abbotsford has reportedly been closed, with an air ambulance called to the scene following a collision there.
Marshall Road in Abbotsford was also closed at Paramount Cres, south of Highway 1.
The accident has delayed the start of classes at King Traditional elementary school to 9 a.m.
