FIELD, B.C. — Traffic is moving again on the Trans-Canada Highway near Field, B.C., after the busy route was closed for hours due to a fatal crash.
 
 
RCMP say a woman was killed in a collision Thursday.
 
 
The accident caused traffic to back up in both directions on the major route through the mountain parks along the Alberta-B.C. boundary.
 
 
Meanwhile, Highway 93 remains closed in both directions from Radium, B.C., into Alberta due to a forest fire.
 
 
There is no information on when that route will reopen.
