I was heading into Abbotsford and heard on traffic radio that the highway was closed due to an ultralight crashing into power lines at or near the freeway. Never seen so many cars on Interprovincial........ not since the pope came to Abbotsford. Bradner and Mt. Lehman has probably not seen this much action in a while. Good thing I know the backroads in that area. Took me 10 minutes longer than usual. It's amazing how people are like Lemmings....... most went Fraser Highway, since that's the only other route they know of.
Freeway will be closed till noon... estimate.
EDIT:
just found sauce
Ultralight aircraft crash kills 1 in B.C. - British Columbia - CBC News
Anyway, Namo Amida Butsu to the pilot who died in the crash.
I guess I missed it last night as I was in the US and came back via Peace Arch instead of Sumas. Was the highway closed last night as well? |
Yes according to News1130 this morning on my way to work
