PRINCE GEORGE – Prince George RCMP and multiple other support units are currently out at an active investigation that has shut down Highway 16 East in both directions between Upper Fraser Road and the Willow River rest area.
“This is an incredibly dynamic event that remains ongoing. We are requesting that everyone stay clear of the area to give our police officers room to work safely,” says Corporal Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.
Frontline police officers have been joined by members of the North District Emergency Response Team, the police helicopter Air 3, the Police Dog Service Units, B.C. Highway Patrol and the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit.
Further details will be provided when they become available. Motorists are advised to check Drive B.C. before heading out on Highway 16 East for updates on road closures.
