Fatal crash along Highway 99

One person is dead, and at least one other is hurt, after a fiery crash between a car and a pick-up truck along the sea-to-sky highway.
RCMP sergeant Peter Thiessen says the accident happened near Function Junction, south of Whistler, just before 11:30pm Saturday.

“Which resulted in a significant explosion, and one of the vehicles being engulfed in flames… That has resulted in one confirmed fatality, the occupant of the other vehicle was transferred to the local area hospital.”

It’s still not known what caused the crash, or if any other passengers were riding in both vehicles.
The sea-to-sky highway remains closed from Alice Lake to the south of Whistler, to north at Function Junction.
