The first major snow fall of the year is contributing to several car accidents on the upper elevation highways, leading to closures.
An incident on the Coquihalla (Hwy 5) has closed the highway southbound just south of Merritt at exit 286. Assessment on when it may reopen is in progress.
And an incident just east of Aspen Grove has closed the Connector (Hwy 97C) westbound.
An earlier incident closed the highwat eastbound as well, but it's since been cleared.
Drive BC is also warning about black ice and limited visibility on the Connector.
