| Car takes wrong turn down Highway 99, causing multi-vehicle collision
By David Karp, Vancouver SunJuly 14, 2009 9:14 PM
METRO VANCOUVER — A car driving the wrong direction down Highway 99 caused an accident Tuesday evening that closed more than eight kilometres of highway.
"We did have a vehicle travelling southbound on Highway 99 in the northbound lanes. As a result of that, we've got a serious motor vehicle crash with fairly signifcant injuries," said RCMP spokesman Cpl. Peter Thiessen.
He said several vehicles were involved, and multiple agencies were investigating.
The accident closed Highway 99 in both directions for much of Tuesday evening, from Highway 99A in Surrey to just past the junction with Highway 91 in Delta.
Highway 91 was also closed southbound between Highway 10 and Highway 99. dkarp@vancouversun.com

At least once a week, I almost go head on with another car going the wrong way in a downtown alley. Cars always ignore the do not enter sign.

Didn't Germany have a major problem a few years back with suicidal idiots going the wrong way on the autobahn?
And yah, downtown is especially bad late night when there's no traffic on the roads and some idiots don't read the one way signs. Just this month I've witnessed 4 cars going the wrong way, one guy actually had the nerve to finger and swear at someone who flashed there lights, lol.

I usually get fingered when I point out that it's a one way. In this city, whoever yells loudest wins but ya know what, they keep driving like that, they'll get theirs one day...

I was actually right there probably 5 minutes after it happened (before the cops/ambulance arrived). Both cars were just completely SMASHED and the driver of 1 of the cars was already sitting on the grassy area off the Highway. She looked ok. However, I was not able to see where the other driver was.

This was only 1 of 2 accidents within minutes of each other in the same stretch. CTV said she may have caused both the accidents.
It was on global news last night and one witness said the woman was driving normally, she wasn't swerving, just driving straight in the on-coming lane. Although, with everyone in that lane swerving out of HER way, she must have known....right?! http://www.ctvbc.ctv.ca/servlet/an/l...shColumbiaHome | |

agreed
Innocent people have to die or get injured due to some fuckin dumb bitch who can't read signs. As others have said, if it's downtown it's not as bad especially with the slower speeds, but we're talking the freeway here?? How does one go up the wrong on-ramp?

Anyone know which specific area of the highway this occurred? The description is a bit vague. Specifically I'm wondering which interchange where the driver started going the wrong way. Quote:

Both of us were like wtf. The BMW hits the end of the block (Robson) and Bam, unmarked cruiser that happened to be on Robson lights right up. We were  for 5 minutes.

hello everyone,
i just wanted to apologize for causing this highway accident. my driving visor (pls dont make fun) strap came off on the back, which momentarily blocked my vision, causing me to accelerate to 320km/h+++, hit a barrier, roll mid-air and land on top of a mini-cooper. i understand that it was a serious accident, but everyone should be OK with it because i waved "sorry" after it happened.
pics of my defective driving visor. i recommend that you folks dont get this, as it is poor in quality  | |

old people need to be tested. Not a full driving test... but an awareness test at least.
