The Canadian Press, 27 Feb, 2018 12:39 PM
    Transportation Minister Claire Trevena is sending wishes of sympathy to people who were involved in a major crash on the Coquihalla Highway on Sunday night.
     
     
    She says it has been a tough winter on the highway and contractors were in their highest state of readiness for a storm that passed through the area about 25 kms north of Hope.
     
     
    Trevena says the area where the accident occurred had been plowed 20 minutes before the crash.
     
     
    The accident involved 165 people, 29 of whom were hospitalized with conditions ranging from stable to critical following the crash that involved at least six vehicles.
