NANAIMO, B.C. - Police on Vancouver Island are investigating a two-vehicle highway crash that killed one person over the weekend.
Nanaimo RCMP say witnesses told police they saw the driver of a car cross the median on the Nanaimo Parkway and hit an SUV head on.
Police say the driver of the SUV died of their injuries after being taken to hospital.
The other driver has serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
It happened at about 8:30 Saturday night and the Mounties say investigators, including a collision analyst, were at the scene most of the night.
The crash occurred on the parkway between the Dunster Road overpass and Doumont Road Bridge, and police are asking anyone with additional information or dash-camera footage to contact them.
