A man is dead following a collision on the Coquihalla Highway on Wednesday.
The BC Coroners Service said it believed the victim was a man in his 20s.
By Wednesday afternoon, traffic was flowing again along the Coquihalla Highway following two earlier incidents along the Larson Hill portion of the well-travelled route.
Motorists were advised during the shutdown to take alternate routes, including Highway 3.
However, a collision took place west of Christina Lake, resulting in a temporary shutdown.
That shutdown is cleared, but only to single-lane, alternating traffic.
Road crews are warning motorists on B.C. mountain passes to drive carefully due to freezing rain and slippery sections.
According to DriveBC, Highway 1 was also closed in both directions Wednesday morning in the Fraser Canyon due to a rockslide near Toll Road.
Crews were able to clear that slide before 10 a.m.
