The Coquihalla is 鈥渟licker than snot on a doorknob,鈥� a member of the 4-Wheel Drive Association of B.C. reported Friday afternoon.

Traffic is backed up to a stop, northbound, north of the Great Bear Snowshed on Highway 5 (Box Canyon).

No accidents have been reported, however, Drive B.C.鈥檚 traffic cams confirm that vehicles are stopped on the highway and nobody is moving. Traffic began to jam up at about 2:40 p.m.

Drive BC is also cautioning drivers to allow for extra time to travel, due to high volume at Box Canyon.

鈥淐oquihalla is a mess right now, everyone,鈥� he said. 鈥淐ouple dozen trucks and vehicles spun out northbound north of show shed, car spun out and traffic stopped at the chain-up. Trucks chaining up in the middle of the road, traffic not moving.鈥�
