The Surrey Police Service says one driver is dead and others have been injured in a multi-vehicle collision on the Patullo Bridge, a key route in Metro Vancouver.

The bridge has been closed in both directions and police say detours and closures would "last throughout the day" as investigators probe the cause of the crash.

Police say they were alerted to the crash by paramedics, who along with firefighters tried to save a woman involved in a wreck, but she died at the scene.

They say other drivers and passengers were injured, but the nature of their injuries wasn't known.

Surrey Police say the Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service and the RCMP's Criminal Collision Investigation team have been called in.
