The Highway as of 10 p.m. Sunday was open to single-lane alternating traffic only, then fully cleared and re-opened by midnight.

RCMP Sgt. Sascha Banks says it’s the third motorcycle and vehicle collision on the Duffy portion of Highway 99 in as many weeks.

Banks is asking the public to please use caution when using Highway 99 and the backroads, as RCMP have seen an increase in traffic above the normal summer volume in all of the Sea to Sky.
