An investigation is continuing after North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP responded to a collision at the intersection of the Trans-Canada Highway and Cowichan Valley Highway (Highway 18).  

A blue Dodge motorhome and a blue Jeep Wrangler collided with each other after the driver of the motorhome, who was travelling northbound, made a left-hand turn on Highway 18 causing the driver of the southbound Wrangler to hit it.  

Police say there were no serious injuries in the crash, but they’re continuing to look at evidence. 

“The driver of the Jeep was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, and both the driver and passenger of the motorhome were also transported for non-life-threatening injuries,” they say. 

The incident occurred on May. 28 just after 9 p.m.
