Highway Thru Hell premiers with episodes of B.C.'s atmospheric river

The new season of Highway Thru Hell airs tonight and this season is featuring the historic flooding events of 2021.

Last fall, all roads connecting the Lower Mainland and Interior region of B.C. were temporarily closed due to the 'atmospheric river' as it was called. Massive flooding also caused the evacuation of the entire town of Merritt and parts of Princeton.

The TV documentary series follows Jamie Davis Heavy Rescue and his crew as they fight to keep some of the most travelled and inhospitable roads open in North America.
