Emergency crews are scrambling to find survivors after a mudslide on the Sea to Sky Highway.

Squamish RCMP say one person remains unaccounted for after emergency crews recovered the body of another resident who died in the mudslide along the Sea to Sky Highway. 

RCMP Cpl. James Grandy said that emergency crews found the body Sunday (Dec. 15). The person's home was directly affected by the mudslide. 

However, a second person associated with the impacted home remains unaccounted for. 

The Sea to Sky Highway has since reopened, police said, but emergency and highway maintenance personnel remain on the scene. 

The mudslide happened Saturday (Dec. 14) along Highway 99, beside the Brunswick Road exit ramp.
