Emergency crews are en route including Air Ambulance. Expect closure to be lengthy as ICARS is being requested.
Squamish RCMP asks anyone with any information to contact the Squamish RCMP at 604-892-6100, or, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS, or go to www.solvecrime.ca
No matter what, the highway should NEVER be closed in BOTH directions. ICARS needs to relocate to Squamish or the North Shore.
Pretty sure they have no control over where the accidents happen.
Enoughs enough, people need to send a letter to ministry of transport to tell them to hurry up and put a barrier between the two directions already. Lives will continue to be lost until this is addressed
