On August 14th at approximately 3:44 am the West Shore RCMP responded to a report of a single-vehicle collision on Sooke Rd just west of Goldstream Ave in Colwood.

The vehicle had gone off-road and the two occupants inside were seriously injured. The occupants have since been taken to the hospital by BC Ambulance and West Shore RCMP along with the South Island Traffic Services Collision Reconstructionist are still on scene at this location.

“As we continue to investigate the cause of the collision, Sooke Rd is completely shut down from Jerome Rd to Goldstream Ave, and traffic is being diverted at Kelly Rd.,” said Cst. Nancy SAGGAR, Media Relations Officer, West Shore RCMP. “Traffic will be slow in this area until police are done processing the scene. We will update the public when the roadway is clear. We ask that motorists slow down when coming into this area and expect delays.”
