CHILLIWACK, B.C. – The Trans-Canada Highway was closed for about 12 hours Saturday east of Chilliwack, B.C., following a fatal two-vehicle crash.

B.C. Emergency Health Services said paramedics and multiple ambulances attended the scene after receiving a call at 10:46 a.m. and that the two patients were in critical condition.

Drive B.C. says the highway was closed in both directions until nearly 11 p.m.
