Crash kills young Cedar woman
NANAIMO — A 25-year-old Cedar woman is dead after a crash south of Nanaimo.
Nanaimo RCMP Cst. Wayne Vaughn said the northbound Ford Focus lost control on Cedar Rd. near Bennie Rd. around 9 p.m. on June 15.
“There’s a sweeping, dogleg curve in the road at that point and it appears that the vehicle lost control. The passenger side tires left the roadway a little bit and it looks like the driver may have overcorrected, shooting the vehicle across the road into a telephone pole,” Vaughn told NanaimoNewsNOW.
Vaughn said there were no witnesses to the crash and their investigation is still in its initial stages. “Speed and alcohol have not been ruled out at this time.”
