Fatal crash on Vancouver Island

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 05 Nov, 2024 04:59 PM
  • Fatal crash on Vancouver Island

Police say they're investigating a head-on crash that killed one person on Vancouver Island over the weekend.

R-C-M-P say witnesses to the crash on Highway 18 west of Duncan told police that a compact pickup truck was heading west when it drifted into the oncoming lane and struck a one-tonne pickup.

They say the smaller truck ended up in the ditch with the driver trapped inside, and they were pronounced dead at the scene despite efforts by first responders.

Anyone who has information about the crash Sunday afternoon is asked to contact North Cowichan-Duncan R-C-M-P.
