It's probably just a coincidence. Victoria doesn't get around to things this quickly on a Sunday unless they involve removing statues.

Happened to drive over it. A large circular logo was painted on the pavement across the entire width of the bridge.

Nothing like tax dollars at work for policing and cleaning up the graffiti vandalism.

Nothing like environmental protesters painting a Bridge that then gets power washed off into the harbour....

Irony is lost on eco-terrorists.

Red graffiti remains on the deck of the bridge. Two words that I can’t read, northern-most lane. They're upside down so drivers can’t easily decipher the code when driving by.

You have to be "this high" to go under the bridge...

Protestors will be shutting down the Pat Bay tomorrow in the Mt Newton area between 2 and 5PM. C Saan PD say they’re aware of the plans.

West Shore RCMP investigate workplace death
West Shore

2020-03-02 11:23 PST

File # 2020-3561

On March 2nd 2020, shortly after 4:00am, the West Shore RCMP responded to a work place incident involving the death of an employee at Sysco Victoria Inc. located at 2881 Amy Road in Langford, BC.

Initial reports indicate that a 25 year old male was hit by a semi tractor trailer at this location and succumbed to his injuries.

Police are in the very early stages of this investigation. The identity of the deceased will not be released at this time. The West Shore RCMP remains on scene and continues their investigation alongside WorkSafe BC and the BC Coroners Service. As this investigation is ongoing we are unable to share additional details at this time.

that's very sad.  it probably took a series of events for that to happen.  slip and fall or just being between the trailer and loading dock lift ramp/wall/bumpers etc. 

 

25-year-old guy.  probably had the tools to escape serious injury 99 times out of 100.

Major accident in Duncan along the TCH. A chopper will be landing between the Thrifty’s and the forestry museum.

Reports are that it wasn’t a car accident, but rather a severe workplace accident at one of the car dealerships along the highway. Not often you see that.

[Mike K.]

Oh no! Crazy.

Something about a person being crushed. Could that mean a vehicle on a lift fell over? That’s a nightmare scenario.

[Matt R.]

You see that a worker was fatally crushed by a semi out at Sysco last week? Nasty.

The people we bought our house from, the fellow was later killed while working under a car at his home.

I always set the car on stands and leave the wheels under it.  There's no reason anyone should be getting crushed by their car while working on it unless someone else hits it and it shifts off the stands.

[Victoria Watcher]

well often a person does not use stands.  they just have it up on a jack or two.

A good jack is $200+  

A pair of good stands can be found for $40

Placing the wheels under the car: $Free.
