It was a bad weekend on Delta's roads.
A serious crash between an SUV and a TransLink bus shut down northbound traffic through the George Massey Tunnel for several hours last Friday.
The head-on collision occurred around 5:30 p.m., closing the tunnel northbound for approximately five hours and causing huge delays in both directions.
Northbound traffic was re-routed onto the South Fraser Perimeter Road and across the Alex Fraser Bridge, while southbound traffic was backed up to the Oak Street Bridge.
The SUV drove out of the counterflow lane and collided with the northbound 620 bus, it was reported, with the driver of the SUV being taken to hospital. Alcohol was reportedly not a factor.
There was another crash Sunday afternoon on southbound Highway 17 that also tied up traffic.
A photographer in the area heard emergency vehicles and could see traffic backed up. He noted there was a single vehicle on its side with responders extricating a single occupant who was then taken to hospital.
