Nanaimo RCMP seeks dashcam video of a collision between two transport trucks that critically injured one driver

Share On

Nanaimo RCMP hope someone has dashcam video of a collision between two transport trucks earlier this week that critically injured one driver.

The big rigs crashed early Wednesday (near the intersection of Northfield Road and the Nanaimo Parkway) at a busy merge point on the city's west side.

The 35 year old woman driving one of the trucks suffered potentially life-threatening injuries but police say she has since been upgraded to stable condition, while the 71 year old driver of the other rig was not badly hurt.

A cause of the crash hasn't been determined and police hope dashcam video will help the investigation.

The four-minute condolence video, posted online, included only limited French, using the words “bonjour” and “merci.” Prime Minister Mark Carney said the decision to release the message primarily in English showed a “lack of judgment and lack of compassion,” high
