WorkSafeBC is investigating after Oceanside RCMP analyzed the scene.

The truck driver was the only employee involved and City officials in Parksville said there’s no other risk to workers.

The last tragic workplace accident in Oceanside happened in February 2017 when a 31-year-old Nanoose Bay man died while working on a ladder at the Parksville Manor on Moilliet St. WorkSafe has not released any findings from their investigation into that incident.
