A motorist and her passenger were involved a rollover car crash on the side of the Nanaimo Parkway on Tuesday night.
According to police, a 2008 Honda Civic travelling southbound went off the shoulder and came to rest right-side-up in a patch of grass south of the College Drive intersection shortly after 9:30 p.m.
Fire and ambulance crews and Nanaimo RCMP attended the scene.
“Witnesses driving behind the vehicle noticed no odd driving behaviour when suddenly the vehicle veered right sharply, causing the vehicle to roll over into the ditch,” said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman.
Drugs and alcohol were ruled out as possible factors in the crash and the cause of the car swerving to the right has not been determined.
O’Brien said he did not know the extent of injuries suffered by the 34-year-old driver or passenger who were tended to at the scene by B.C. Ambulance paramedics.
No other vehicles were involved and there was no damage to other property.
