Pedestrian sent to hospital after being struck on the highway

North Cowichan/Duncan

File # 2025-4362

A man was believed to be seriously injured after he was struck by a semi late Sunday night while apparently attempting to cross the highway on foot.

On March 23, 2025 at 9:39 p.m., the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP responded to a report of a pedestrian that had been struck by a semi in the northbound lane of the Trans Canada Highway near Beverly Street. Police attended and found a tractor trailer stopped in the northbound slow lane. An unknown man was found unconscious, breathing, lying on the ground several feet ahead of the semi. The injured man was taken to hospital with what were believed to be serious, potentially life-threatening injuries. He remains in hospital in stable condition. He has since been identified as a 32-year-old Duncan man.

The driver remained on scene and cooperated with the investigation.

Evidence obtained by police suggests that criminality was not a factor in the crash, said Staff Sergeant Kris Clark of the BC RCMP. The investigation remains ongoing and anyone with any information is urged to contact police.

Anyone with any information about this collision is asked to contact the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP at 250-748-5522.
