RCMP say that a medical event may have caused the driver of a semi truck to careen off the Island Highway and into a home in Nanoose Bay Monday afternoon.
Posted: Oct. 4, 2022 12:02PMA doorbell camera shows the moment a semi truck smashed into a home in Nanoose Bay Monday, Oct. 3, 2022.
Fire crews arrived soon after but even with many hands, getting the driver out was a monumental task. Firefighters then cut open the roof of the truck and were able to free the driver at around 5 p.m., a rescue operation that took about three hours. Sarah Stoneman, who lives at the home the truck crashed into, had just gone to a neighbouring home where she keeps some of her things just minutes before it happened.
“The cause of the collision is still under investigation but initial indications are that a medical event may be a contributing factor,” Mounties said in a news release Tuesday.
