Two people were taken to hospital after an accident shut down the Sea to Sky Highway.
On January 25, 2022, at 4:50 p.m., Squamish RCMP responded to a serious car accident on Highway 99 about eight kilometers south of Porteau Cove. Two people were injured in the accident that involved two cars. Their injuries are unknown but are not believed to be serious.
The Integrated Collision Analyst Reconstruction Team (ICARS), Emergency Health Services, Fire Rescue, and Miller Capilano are providing a coordinated response.
The highway is shut down for both north and southbound traffic, and police do not yet have an estimate for time of reopening. “Right now, responders are sorting out the scene and ensuring people are safe,” says Corporal Angela Kermer of the Squamish RCMP.
Squamish RCMP asks anyone with any information regarding the above file to contact the Squamish RCMP at 604-892-6100, or, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS, or go to www.solvecrime.ca

Then why is the highway closed in both directions if the injuries aren’t serious…there is people trying to come home from work that are stuck and can’t get home,….Come on four hours and still counting….
Sunny says
Investigators taking there own sweet time I guess and collecting all the evidences and forensic experts also at the seen.

This is ridiculous. I am happy no one died but come on! I’m freezing and low on fuel hungry. This is BS and what about the seniors and females that have been in this and can’t even go to the washroom. Absolute bs

For the respect of victims and people stuck on the 99 Highway, your allegations on your publication about this crash is either really mildly and disrectly said or really off context.
If it isn’t believed to be serious i believe that i am crazy i am pretty certain i have seen at least without exagerating 12-15 ambulances back and forth.. And I reLly doubt there is a late Health and safety Christmas brunch in Squamish nor duck familly along Timon and Pumba Crossing the road causing 5 hour road block…
Are you suggesting ICARS isn’t able to manage a 2 cars accident?
Or alleging that waiting in a car for hours without food since this morning is not an issue?
Hopefully, there is no people need of assistance on Seasky Highway for now 5 hours for a “not Serious INCIDENT”
Emphasizing on the word :”Incident” for something that happened without any major “consequences”
I am, beside the other hundreds of cars maybe thousand bumper to bumper,
You would see me to be sorry i mcant see on 50km…
It is quite frustrating when you can’t turn around reading your off context not serious information and not say how i would feel if i was in this accident, and because my life wouldn’t be on line , there isn’t more dramatic head liner to publish…
By the way…it seems to be serious conditions reading other reports…
Nothing personal, only constructively hoping you understand the thoughts of your audience looking for answers
Sincerely yours
Thank you

Wow, I was one of those injured people. I have been in the hospital e er since with non life threatening but serious injuries that will take as much as a year to recover from. I am sorry you are hungry, but as a victim, I am here to tell you I am overjoyed that the investigation is being thorough.
