Snow mayhem in Surrey: 10+ vehicles and bus crash on slippery hill (VIDEOS)
It was mayhem on a Surrey street Tuesday night as driver after driver lost control of their vehicles down a slippery and snowy hill, and it was all caught on video.
An estimated 10 vehicles ended up damaged in the major multi-vehicle mess, including a transit bus, as they all slid down the hill and collided with one another.
It happened before 7:30 pm near the busy 160 Street between 28 and 30 avenues in Surrey.
Video of the moments leading up to the multi-vehicle crash shows a white car cautiously attempting to make it down the hill before it begins to spin.
Despite its slow speed, the driver clearly cannot stop, and the vehicle ends up backward, rolling directly toward a parked car on the right-hand shoulder.
It hits, and that impact inevitably sends that vehicle forward into the parked car in front of it.
Moments later, another driver — this time in a red car — was able to stop briefly metres ahead of the crash, and a bystander tried to help; however, the road was too slippery, and they also hit the pile-up of cars.
Another white car, followed by another black car. All meet the same fate.
Erica Kreeft was among the neighbours who rushed to help and was able to film this all happening.
She yelled, “watch out,” when she spotted the bus at the top of the hill also appear to lose control.
Her video shows the handyDART transit vehicle gain speed and slam straight into the black car’s bumper, sending the entire lineup of cars several metres forwards. The damage to several vehicles’ fronts and backs appears to be extensive.
Kreeft says that, luckily, no one was hurt.
“They were shaken up and very upset, but everyone was out of their cars once the bus hit,” Kreeft told Daily Hive.
