Surrey Police Service (SPS) is asking for the public to send them any dashcam footage they may have of the October 16, 2026, multi-vehicle collision on Highway 99.

At approximately 4:30 pm on October 16, 2026, a semi-truck and trailer was travelling northbound in the 12200-block Highway 99 when it struck three sedans also travelling northbound. The semi-truck left the northbound lanes, jack-knifed, and struck the median separating northbound from southbound traffic. The semi-truck then went into southbound traffic, striking a southbound transit bus carrying approximately 50-60 passengers and another sedan. 

SPS officers from across Surrey responded as did multiple Surrey Fire Services firefighters. Numerous BCEHS resources responded, including one air ambulance. Due to the size of the collision scene and resulting traffic congestion, Delta Police Department officers, City of Surrey, Mainroad traffic, and Ministry of Transportation and Transit staff also assisted for several hours. 

BCEHS paramedics provided emergency medical care to a total of 13 people. Two people were transported to hospital in serious but stable condition, including one by air ambulance who has since been discharged from hospital. Eleven other people were transported by BCEHS to hospital in stable condition with less serious injuries. 

SPS’s Collision Investigation Unit attended the collision and is leading the investigation. At this early stage the cause of the collision remains under investigation. SPS is aware that several motorists and/or passengers in vehicles have shared dashcam footage with local media or posted the footage onto social media and are asking everyone who may have dashcam footage to please share it with Surrey Police Service so it can become part of the investigation. 

Anyone who has dashcam footage or witnessed the collision and has not yet shared the footage or spoken with SPS officers is asked to please contact SPS’s non-emergency number at 604-599-0502 and quote file 26-111726 (SP).
