The ice road conditions caused the vehicles to collide with one another, which led to a complete and utter and complete standstill. During this time, no one was able to proceed forward while the situation remained in this state.
Accidents were the cause of this happening, which is why it took place. Because of this, the entire highway was being jammed as it proceeded eastbound into the S-curve, which is situated to the east of Nelson Road. This was causing all of the lanes of the highway to become clogged.
The service of salting the roads was a service that was requested by Mainroad Contracting, and firemen from Richmond contributed in an effort to restore order to the chaos that was taking place at the time.
Burnaby, Vancouver, and the entire Tri-Cities region as a whole have all been claimed to have experienced accidents and backups, according to the reports.
Additionally, incidents and vehicles that had become stuck were reported by DriveBC on Thursday afternoon west of Hope, on an off-ramp of the Alex Fraser Bridge in Delta, on 104th Avenue in Surrey, and on the Mountain Highway and Lions Gate Bridge. All of these locations are located in Surrey. Every one of these places can be found in the city of Surrey. Any and all of these locations can be found within the boundaries of the city of Surrey.
It was strongly recommended that drivers who did not have winter tyres correctly installed drive with extreme caution, that they drive in accordance with the conditions, and that they stay inside whenever it was possible to do so.
