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.

“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.
