In addition to the incident on Highway 99, drivers should be aware that a lane on Highway 1 in Abbotsford will be closed for urgent drainage repairs. This lane closure is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. and continue until 3 p.m., further complicating travel in the region.

Authorities have warned motorists to expect significant delays as they navigate through the affected areas. The combination of the crash on Highway 99 and the maintenance work on Highway 1 highlights ongoing challenges for drivers in British Columbia, particularly during peak travel times.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the full extent of the injuries sustained in the crash, and further updates from local authorities are anticipated as the situation develops.
