Criminal investigation continuing into serious Nanaimo Parkway crash
NANAIMO — Local Mounties continue probing the circumstances leading to a serious collision along the Nanaimo Parkway earlier this week.
Traffic was blocked off in both directions for several hours after police say the driver of a small SUV drove into oncoming southbound traffic, colliding with a semi truck just south of the Harewood Mines Rd. overpass on Wednesday, June 19 shortly before 6 a.m.
Nanaimo RCMP Reserve Cst. Gary O’Brien said both drivers remain in hospital, while a criminal investigation is ongoing.
“We’ve got a pretty good picture of what’s going on but there were some who left before speaking with police. One was a woman who did emergency first aid with the driver of the car, we didn’t get her name so we’re hoping if she sees this she can give us a call.”
