A two-vehicle crash has sent multiple people to the hospital and shut down parts of a major highway.

The Surrey RCMP says the south-east lanes of Highway 99 will be closed for several hours at the Highway 91 junction.

The other driver and their passenger were taken to hospital with minor injuires.

Police say alcohol and a pre-existing medical condition are believed to have contributed to the crash.
