Tina Webber says her family of four had to spend Thursday night in their car after the Coquihalla Highway was shut down due to hazardous driving conditions. An emergency room doctor in Victoria, Webber says the family was heading to Kamloops for a ski trip. Webber says they were stuck on the highway overnight from 9 p.m. to 9:30 a.m."Nobody came through the night to tell us what was going on," Webber said. Malcom Smith gets credit from his wife for packing down sleeping bags that kept them warm overnight on the Coquihalla Highway. There are not many other places in the world where you can say you spent the night in the middle of a snowbank cozy under down blankets."
