yeah,

heard the same, from CBC website:

"The Sea-to-Sky Highway, which connects Vancouver and Whistler was
been closed in both directions because of a head-on collision on
Monday morning.

The 13-kilometre section of Highway 99 between Lions Bay and Porteau
Cove Provincial Park, just north of Horseshoe Bay, was closed after a
pick-up truck and a Volkswagen Van had a head on collision around
10:45 a.m. PT.

The driver of the truck escaped with minor injuries, but two people
in the van both suffered serious injuries and has to be cut out of
the vehicle by the jaws of life.

The highway was expected to reopen to alternating single lane traffic
around 12:15 p.m. The crash was not linked to a minor rockslide
futher north on the Highway on Monday morning, said officials.

The highway has been plagued by deadly head-on collisions, despite a
recent $800 million upgrade before the 2010 Olympics that
significantly improved it's safety."
