One dead, Highway 99 closed after rollover in Surrey

At least one person is dead after a rollover crash on Highway 99 in Surrey early Monday morning.

The accident happened northbound between 16th and 32nd avenues around 4 am

About a dozen RCMP and firefighters could be seen in the 2800 block of the highway following the crash.

Video from the scene shows a vehicle on its roof in the ditch. It appears to have rolled several times on a terrace before coming to rest upside down.

Police have not said how many people were in the vehicle at the time, but are considering the crash a fatal rollover.

“Police are asking commuters to plan ahead, avoid the area and use alternative routes. It is not known how long the closures will remain in effect,” wrote Sgt. Chris De Hart in a press release early Monday morning.

Drivers are urged to use King George Boulevard until the highway reopens.
