A black SUV has caused significant damage to the Cowichan District Hospital after it was driven through the emergency doors last night.
According to Island Health, the incident happened around 7:30 last night (Oct. 25) and caused damage to the Emergency Room entrance.
According to a statement, no one was injured in the incident, and although the damage was extensive, they’ve concluded there is no foundational damage.
“Initial findings show no structural damage to the building’s foundation,” says Island Health. “Temporary doors have been installed, and staff will be stationed at the entrance in the coming days to support access.”
The facility is open to all emergencies.
