A tragic accident on Highway 99 in Surrey has resulted in the closure of all northbound lanes. The crash, which occurred on Monday afternoon, has claimed at least one life.
According to the Surrey RCMP, the collision involved multiple vehicles and occurred near the 32nd Avenue exit. Emergency services were immediately dispatched to the scene, and the northbound lanes were shut down to allow for investigation and cleanup.
Details about the cause of the crash are still unclear, and the identities of those involved have not been released. However, witnesses reported seeing a semi-truck and several other vehicles involved in the collision.
The closure of the northbound lanes has caused significant traffic delays, and drivers are advised to avoid the area if possible. The southbound lanes remain open, but motorists are urged to use caution and expect delays.
The Surrey RCMP is working with the BC Coroners Service to investigate the crash and determine the cause. Anyone with information or dashcam footage related to the incident is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP.
