An exploding transformer lit up the early-morning sky in Chilliwack on Friday.
The dashcam footage was captured while a driver was travelling eastbound along Highway 1, east of Annis Road around 6:15 a.m. on Jan. 7.
Several bright white flashes lit up the dark sky as traffic moved at a snail鈥檚 pace along the highway.
