HOPE (NEWS 1130) – A serious accident involving a semi and multiple other cars on the Coquihalla has the highway shut down south bound.
It happened between Hope and the summit, near Box Canyon.
“I saw a semi truck was just smashed to pieces against two cars. There was numerous rear-enders. Cars were turned sideways all over the highway,” says Larry, a witness who called the newsroom.
Larry drove by going north and says there are countless rear-enders in addition to the original accident.
“It looked to me, in just the aftershock of the crashes, probably like 50 cars (were involved) at least.”
No word yet on exactly how many people were injured.
