CHILLIWACK, B.C. — Police in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley say the people who died in Tuesday’s multi-vehicle crash on Highway 1 were a local woman and a child.
A statement from RCMP Highway Patrol says a second child from the same vehicle is expected to survive after being taken to hospital with serious injuries.
The crash in Chilliwack, in B.C.’s Fraser Valley, involved six vehicles and 10 drivers and passengers, but Mounties say there were no other injuries.
They say initial information suggests that one or more of the vehicles stopped abruptly due to an “obstruction” on the highway.
