It remains unclear exactly how many vehicles were involved in the pileup.

BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) said seven ambulances were deployed, and two people were taken to hospital in stable condition.

The crash took place amid snowy conditions that appear to have hit the Fraser Valley particularly hard.

DriveBC has warned drivers of “limited visibility with blowing snow” in the crash area.
