Post by : Shweta

A major section of Highway 99 north of Squamish has been closed in both directions following a serious crash that left three people injured, including one in critical condition.

The incident occurred on March 29, 2026, near Mount Garibaldi, prompting an immediate response from emergency services. According to DriveBC, the highway closure is currently in effect between Alice Lake Road and Daisy Lake Road, a key route connecting Squamish and Whistler.

Emergency crews, including Squamish Fire Rescue, responded quickly to the scene and have been working to manage the situation and clear the roadway. Authorities also confirmed that air support has been deployed to assist in the response, highlighting the seriousness of the incident.

British Columbia Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) reported that it received a call about the crash at approximately 3:30 p.m. Paramedics were dispatched to the location with two ground ambulances and one air ambulance. Upon arrival, medical teams treated three घायल individuals at the scene.

All three injured persons were transported to hospital for further treatment. One patient is reported to be in serious condition, while the other two are in stable condition.

The closure of Highway 99 has led to significant traffic congestion in the area, with long lines of vehicles building up along the route. Motorists have been advised to avoid the area if possible and expect major delays, particularly between Squamish and Whistler.

At this time, there is no confirmed timeline for when the highway will reopen. Crews remain on site, continuing efforts to clear the crash scene and ensure the road is safe for travel.

Authorities have not yet released further details about the cause of the crash. The investigation is ongoing, and updates are expected as more information becomes available.
