In a tweet, shortly after 9 p.m. Friday, GSPS informed the public of the crash and subsequent road closure.
"Dominion Drive West roadway closed both ways," said police.
"Police, fire and EMS (emergency medical services) on scene."
Dominion Drive was closed in both directions for approximately eights hours, reopening around 5 a.m.
Photos from the scene (shown below) were provided to CTV News by someone who asked to remain anonymous.
They advised seven GSPS vehicles were in the area at one point.
"Bad 'accident' on the west side of the intersection (near King Sportswear)," the viewer said in a message to CTV News on Friday night.
They also said Municipal Road 80 was reduced to two lanes.
The investigation is ongoing, police said.
