Having driven through northern BC quite a bit, there’s been dozens of times where a rockslide / logging truck rollover / construction has caused a detour off the highway and down some remote roads. Not saying that’s what happened to them, but rather that it’s best to be prepared because you never know what will happen.

Haha yeah, makes sense over there, but they were in the prairies, the flatest area in Canada! I guess the highway could have got blocked somehow and you have to take a backroad detour, but you'd probably be following a stream of traffic as well in that case.

Always agree it's best to look at a map to get a feel for the route or at least have one ready.
