n the early morning of Feb. 12, Squamish couple Sarah Wheatley and Denis Courchesne were on their way to the airport for their first vacation together. Wheatley’s sister, Kieran, was travelling with them to take the car home once the couple was dropped off. But the three of them barely made it out of Squamish before they were involved in a serious car accident. Near the viewpoint a few kilometres south of the Shannon Falls intersection on the Sea to Sky Highway, they collided with a driver for Surerus Murphy Joint Venture who attempted a U-turn but stopped in their lane before completing it. The company, Surerus Murphy, is a contractor with the FortisBC Eagle Mountain to Woodfibre pipeline project. The three of them survived, as did the other driver. Yet, Wheatley said they were taken to Squamish
