A driver was arrested this afternoon when our officers intercepted their vehicle following a hit & run in Victoria. This was thanks to calls from the public. The vehicle was still being driven with the damage done below. A 90-day prohibition was served & criminal charges pending.

"The vehicle was still being driven with the damage done below."

 

How is that possible?

[Victoria Watcher]

Up to 70 cars are piled up on the Trans-Canada Highway near Brooks, while semi-trailers have overturned on other roadways as wind and snow rip across a large swath of the southern and eastern Alberta.

 

RCMP say the westbound lanes of Highway 1 about 200 kilometres east of  Calgary are expected to be closed for several hours.

Here’s the release:

On April 13th just after 1:30 p.m. the Sooke RCMP were called to a single vehicle collision in the 7500 block of West Coast Road.

Sooke RCMP front line members attended the scene and located a grey mid 90’s Nissan SUV that appeared to have been travelling westbound when it crossed the center line & opposing lane of traffic, left the road way, continued down a small embankment and collided with a tree.

Witnesses to the collision immediately attempted lifesaving efforts to the man until they were relieved by first responders says Sooke RCMP Sergeant Kevin Shaw I’m very grateful for the contributions and lifesaving efforts of all involved, witnesses and first responders

BC Ambulance was on scene to administer first aid to the vehicle’s only occupant, however, the Sooke area man was pronounced deceased at the scene. A collision analyst is working alongside the Sooke RCMP in determining the cause of the collision.

The BC Coroners Service is also investigating to determine how, where, when and by what means he came to his death. Due to the privacy of the deceased, neither organization will be releasing or confirming identity.

The cause of the collision remains under investigation, and the Sooke RCMP are asking any witnesses who may have seen the driving behaviour of this vehicle prior to collision to please contact the at 250-642-5241

Sad.  But it is a 40k zone so he should pull through.

[UDeMan]

Everytime I drive downtown or in that gorge rd area, have to watch out for people walking in the middle of traffic out of nowhere. Especially during cheque week.

[Sparky]

^^ The heavy hauler truck that was still there this afternoon was HUGE.

Traffic was a mess.

[Dexter]

It was sunbelt rentals delivery tilt deck trailer. It takes that route every week day several times a day. I would bet the guy who drives it is an expert at what he does. Either he made a mistake or someone stepped in front of him as he made the turn.
