Darpan News Desk Surrey RCMP, 29 Aug, 2022 10:32 AM

On Sunday, at approximately 9:35pm, Surrey RCMP responded to a report of a vehicle fire on Highway 17 near Old Yale Road.

A semi truck was travelling westbound on Highway 17 when the driver smelled smoke. After the driver pulled over, the vehicle ignited into flames. The subsequent fire resulted in the vehicle sustaining major damage.

Due to the large diesel spill that originated from the damaged fuel tanks on the semi truck, Highway 17 westbound will remain shut down for several hours to allow for an environmental cleanup.
