  "account": "A significant multi-vehicle collision occurred on Friday afternoon, bringing Highway 99 to a halt just east of the interchange with Highway 91 in Delta. Initial footage from a truck's dash cam depicted the vehicle crossing the median and colliding with various cars, involving a double-decker transit bus. The police from Surrey have not yet determined if any injuries were severe. They also remain uncertain about whether the bus was transporting any passengers. Emergency services from Surrey, including the fire department and paramedics from BCEHS, responded to the scene. It is anticipated that the highway will remain closed for several hours, causing considerable delays and congestion, particularly in the direction south of Highway 91.",
