Major Crash Halts Eastbound Traffic on HWY 1 in Chilliwack, Extended Closure Expected

A major incident has caused the closure of eastbound lanes on Highway 1 in Chilliwack between Young and Prest roads, according to DriveBC. Corporal Dave Noon, a collision reconstruction specialist from the Lower Mainland Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service (LMD-ICARS), stated that there is no estimated time for the lanes to reopen, advising drivers to find alternative routes. Expect significant delays in the affected area due to the ongoing closure.

Authorities have deployed LMD-ICARS near Young Rd on BCHwy1 in Chilliwack, prompting the closure of all eastbound lanes for several hours. Commuters are urged to seek alternate routes to avoid the area and potential traffic congestion. Reports indicate significant backup in the vicinity, and 1130 NewsRadio is seeking further details from the RCMP and BC Emergency Health Services.
