On September 15, 2022, at about 12:00 p.m., Sea to Sky RCMP Squamish received a report of a motor vehicle incident on Highway 99 near Browning Lake, involving two cars in a head-on collision, and a grey dump truck with trailer that continued driving after the two cars collided.

Near where three traffic lanes turn into two, the driver of a pickup truck travelling northbound on the inside lane was forced into oncoming traffic due to a dump truck overtaking his lane. As a result, the pickup driver collided head-on with the driver of a third car that was travelling in the southbound lane.

The highway was completely closed for a short time so first responders could tend to injured people and investigate. Occupants received non-life-threatening medical attention.

After the collision, the dump truck driver kept driving, and remains unidentified, says Corporal Angela Kermer, Sea to Sky Media Relations Officer. We’re asking for help to identify this driver so we can follow up with them and complete our work.
