One person killed in fiery crash along Nanaimo Parkway
NANAIMO — A high-speed crash has claimed the life of one person and sent smoke and flames high into the air.
The incident occurred just after 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 10 along the Nanaimo Parkway between Aulds Rd. and Mostar Rd., near the Dunster Rd. overpass, and involved an SUV and a dark-coloured car.
Nanaimo RCMP Reserve Cst. Gary O’Brien told NanaimoNewsNOW there was only the driver in each vehicle and it appears the crash occurred after the southbound car lost control.
“This vehicle crossed the median into oncoming traffic and collided with a northbound, dark-coloured SUV. The driver of the northbound SUV was transported to hospital but unfortunately died as a result of the injuries sustained as a result of the collision.”
