Crash involving semi-truck, bus and other vehicles closes Highway 99 in Surrey, B.C.

SURREY – Police say a crash involving a semi-truck and trailer, a bus and several other vehicles has closed Highway 99 in both directions in Surrey, B.C.

Staff Sgt. Lindsey Houghton says in an email that the number and types of vehicles involved in the crash have not been confirmed and he did not have information on the type of bus or whether it was carrying any passengers at the time.

Houghton says firefighters and paramedics were at the scene, but he couldn’t confirm whether anyone has been seriously injured in the crash.

He says parts of the highway would likely be closed for several hours and police would issue any further significant updates later Friday or on Saturday.

The DriveBC website shows the route is closed between the Highway 91 interchange and King George Boulevard in south Surrey.

The driver information service says drivers should expect major delays, with no estimated timeline for the highway’s reopening.

BC Emergency Health Services did not immediately respond to a request for details about its response to the crash Friday evening.

TransLink, Metro Vancouver’s transit operator, directed a question about whether one of its buses was involved in the crash to B.C. Highway Patrol, while the Mounties referred a request back to the Surrey Police Service.
