Overview
- Police say the collision shut Highway 99 in both directions in south Surrey and forced long closures between the Highway 91 interchange and King George Boulevard.
- Thirteen people were taken to hospital with two listed as seriously injured and one person airlifted, while the other 11 were reported in stable condition.
- Investigators, who describe the probe as still in its early stages, say they currently believe a semi-truck and trailer crossed into oncoming traffic but have not confirmed the full vehicle count.
- Firefighters, paramedics, several ambulances and an air ambulance attended the scene and DriveBC issued the closure and major-delay notices for the key regional corridor.
- TransLink and law‑enforcement agencies have redirected inquiries between B.C. Highway Patrol, the RCMP and the Surrey Police Service and police warned they will provide further updates when investigators have more details.
