Sunday’s snowfall that hit the Lower Mainland led to a scary incident for first responders in Surrey.
An ambulance that had responded to an emergency near 176 Street and 96 Avenue was hit by an out-of-control SUV.
Firefighters responded to that crash but had to jump out of the way when a large semi-truck started sliding toward the fire truck.
The chain reaction turned into an eight-car pile-up.
