One woman was transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries after a tractor trailer collided with an automobile along Como Lake Avenue Thursday morning.
The incident occurred near the intersection with Gatensbury Street at around 7 a.m. and the woman was quickly transported to Royal Columbian Hospital.
Como Lake was closed for seven hours after the crash, while a hazmat team worked to contain a fuel spill that resulted from the collision.
"There was a lot of diesel leaking so we had a hazmat situation," said Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung. "We had to wait for hazmat to deal with it.
By 1:50 p.m. the road had re-opened and Chung said police were continuing to investigate the incident.
