Janet Carswell was trying to make it home for Christmasto North Vancouver from Whistler, for the second day.

When she heard about yesterday's bus accident she stayed overnight, and friends who did try to get through got stuck and had to turn around.

"I had several friends who had to come back to Whistler and wait it out," she said.

Today she heard the roads were clear so she tried again, when only 500 metres from the first accident she saw traffic backing up again.

This time for a car that had flipped into the ditch, with luggage scattered all around the crash site.

Carswell was relieved to get past the danger zone, and be finally headed home.
