“Based on where they are with the investigation they know there’s others in the community who have information, and they are choosing not to provide that. We need to speak with them.”

Police stated a woman was hospitalized with significant injuries, while her husband and their two dogs were also hurt.

The couple reported they were walking on the road’s shoulder facing oncoming traffic when the vehicle came from behind, crossed over into their lane and hit the female victim initially.

The force of the vehicle sent the woman into her husband and all four ended up in the ditch.

Both dogs were on a short leash at the time.

Anybody with more information is asked to contact Nanaimo RCMP’s non-emergency line at 250-754-2345.
