12-hour commute during snow storm a chaotic ‘nightmare’ in B.C.’s Lower Mainland
It usually takes Cloverdale’s Kristina Trotzuk about an hour to get home from work on Annacis Island.“It was the most frustrating, stressful, scary situation I’ve ever been through,” she told Black Press Media Wednesday morning after just a few hours sleep.
She recalls telling her husband Perry at 11:45 p.m. she should be home soon. The next thing she knew, it was 2 a.m., and she had not moved. Everywhere she looked, she could see cars in the ditch and spinning out.“I was helpless with no way to help her out,” he said. “Makes me sick to my stomach.” He said the government could have done a better job preparing for the storm that it knew was coming and of notifying people when the bridge was being shut down.
