Canada issued a snowfall warning for the Fraser Valley early Monday and
almost as soon as the alert was put out, a tractor-trailer loaded with beer
overturned on Hwy. 1 landing in the median separating eastbound and
westbound traffic. The driver was able to get out of the cab and there were
no reports of injuries.
