A routine drive near Lillooet, British Columbia, turned into tragedy when a massive mudslide struck Highway 99 on November 15. Four people lost their lives, and one remains missing as crews continue to face dangerous terrain and unstable ground.
Emergency responders recovered the victims over several days before halting the search for the missing person due to safety risks. The highway remains closed as officials assess further slide threats and clear debris.
For the grieving families and shaken community, the disaster is a painful reminder of nature’s power—and how quickly an ordinary journey can turn into heartbreak.
