Tesla crash shuts down Sea-to-Sky Highway northbound for a few hours
The highway is now open, but it was closed after a Tesla ended up on its side just after noon on Tuesday, near Strachan Point in Lions Bay.
A single-vehicle crash involving a Tesla vehicle caused the northbound lanes of the Sea-to-Sky Highway to be shut down for several hours on Tuesday afternoon. The incident occurred near Strachan Point in Lions Bay just after noon. Following the collision, the Tesla vehicle ended up on its side, leading to the closure of the highway.
B.C. Emergency Health Services reported that one individual in the vehicle was transported to the hospital in stable condition; however, it was not specified if the individual was the driver or a passenger. The barriers along the Sea-to-Sky Highway prevented drivers from attempting to turn around. This incident is reminiscent of a previous lengthy closure of the same highway following a crash in July.
During that time, Mike Farnworth, representing B.C.’s Ministry of Transportation, emphasized the importance of reminding people of the dangerous nature of the stretch of highway and urged drivers to adhere to the conditions and speed limit on the road.
