Amid an already chaotic weekend due to the landslide at Lions Bay, a serious crash on Highway 99 northbound north of Squamish at Chance Creek Forest Service Road has the right lane blocked Saturday evening, according to DriveBC.
RCMP say it is a single-vehicle crash. The driver went into water.
The condition of the driver was not known at the time.
Squamish News Buff, who goes by @SquamishAlerts on X, monitors scanner communications and reported that it was a serious rollover crash.
Snowfall of 15 to 20 centimetres is expected this evening.
"Rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult over some locations. Weather in the mountains can change suddenly resulting in hazardous driving conditions. Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop," the alert reads.
Adjust to winter driving behaviour and use winter tires and chains.
