Initially, the Surrey Police Service stated that there were no serious injuries, but later acknowledged that two victims were seriously hurt, with one requiring airlift to a hospital. The remaining 11 individuals were hospitalized in stable condition. The investigation into the cause of the crash is still in its early stages, but authorities believe the semi-truck and trailer veered into oncoming traffic. The multi-vehicle collision caused significant traffic disruption, grounding Highway 99 for several hours. BC Emergency Health Services deployed multiple ambulances, paramedics, and an air ambulance to the scene.",
