Shawnigan Lake RCMP is investigating a motor vehicle collision that resulted in the death of a 12-year-old.
The police said that just after 8:30 p.m. on Monday, police responded to the 4100 block of Hillbank Rd after a youth was hit by a car. “Preliminary information indicates the victim was rollerblading with family when a northbound Honda Civic lost control, struck the youth, and then hit a telephone pole. The vehicle’s 17-year-old driver and a passenger suffered minor injuries and were taken to the hospital,” police said.
“While we do not suspect that alcohol was involved, it has been determined that speed played an important factor in this tragic incident,” said Corporal Alex Bérubé, spokesperson for the BC RCMP. “The investigation remains in its early stages, and police continue to gather evidence.”
