COQUITLAM (NEWS1130) - Police have confirmed a woman is dead after some sort of incident on the Port Mann Bridge.

Rudy says there is a body covered with a tarp on the pavement in front of semi. "It seems to be a pedestrian. It's a few metres from the edge of the bridge, into the road."

The bridge is now closed to eastbound traffic. The closure is expected to remain in effect for most of the afternoon. There are delays westbound after a fender-bender on the bridge as well.

Suicide or road worker?

E-40six 11-03-2011 03:25 PM

holy crap, I just passed that area as the road was getting closed off to single lane traffic.

Didnt know someone died

From what I was told, a woman's car broke down and for some reason she got out to check on her car and was hit by a semi

I saw five cars and a semi pulled over to the side of the road at the foot of the Port Mann around 12:30. I was heading back into Surrey via the Lougheed onramp, when I let by an ambulance because of the one-lane on-ramp. Coming round the loop, I saw the cars and people on the side of the road, but the barriers were blocking the ground there.

co-worker drove by there maybe 20 minutes before it happened and I thought it was just a suicide case. RIP, the construction in that area has made it a frightening place to drive. Another co-worker evidently got stuck in surrey because of the influx of traffic on the pattula and the port mann westbound. This city has such shit infrastructure.

JesseBlue 11-03-2011 04:08 PM

a while ago, there was an accident by royal ave to patullo...traffic everywhere!

More than likely this accident was avoidable.

thats what i heard too

saw her car on the news just now from where she was parked it looks like there was no room for her to exit the car without getting out in the next lane -_-


RIP; but :seriously:

but wow, sad news though RIP

I haven't seen New West that backed up in a long time. All down Royal, up 8th and then down side streets to get onto 8th. It was crazy.

Thankfully even though the building I was working at is right down by Patullo, home is in the opposite direction-because there is nothing worse than getting stuck in bridge traffic for a bridge you don't want to take.

I went the Lougheed Hwy route via the Mission Bridge. Never seen the Lougheed that plugged up in the Coquitlam/Maple Ridge area. Lots of tolls collected on the Golden Ears, I bet.

I did have a good time yesterday. Checked out the new Wal Mart and Canadian Tire in whatever new mall they have in Maple Ridge.

murd0c 11-04-2011 09:00 AM

Hows the new Canadian tire? I've been wanting to check it out.

And yet when they try to fix it, everyone bitches about the cost and the construction and the eco-weenies start setting their hair on fire...

I left downtown at 2, flew along Hastings and Barnet all the way to just before Coq. Station, then it was a dead crawl all the way home to Pitt Meadows :speechless:

That's PoCo. You have to cross the Pitt Bridge and go through Pitt Meadows before you get to Maple Ridge. :failed:

Like every other Canadian Tire on this planet. It is big, but that's about it. I was more impressed with the Wal Mart. Holy shit, it's fricken huge. Timmy's, McD's, walk in clinic, etc.

Who cares.......... it's all one big blur, LOLOLOLOLOL.



I do know that people in Coquitlam hate it when people get mixed up between their wonderful municipality and Port Coquitlam....... who really cares?

That whole area is going to get clusterfucked when it comes time to Christmas shopping.
