On May 24, 2025, at approximately 5:20 p.m., West Shore RCMP attended the scene of a serious collision involving a cyclist and a Grey 2013 Toyota Sienna Van that took place just north of the Six Mile Rd on ramp in the north bound lanes of the Trans Canada Hwy in View Royal.
The cyclist, who is identified as an 80-year old man, was traveling South in the North bound lanes on the right-hand shoulder at the time of the collision. The cyclist and the van collided head on.
BC Emergency Health Services, Police, View Royal and Langford Fire Departments attended the scene. Life saving measures were applied, however the cyclist succumbed to his injuries at the scene. The van was being driven by a 51-year old man with a 15-year old passenger who were both taken to the hospital to receive care for non-life-threatening injuries.
North bound lanes were completely shut down for a number of hours while the West Shore RCMP Traffic Unit and Vancouver Island Collision Reconstructionist examined the scene. The highway was reopened at approximately 9:40 p.m..
The cause of the collision is still under investigation, however police have ruled out drugs and alcohol as contributing factors. Police are asking any witnesses who have not yet spoken to police to please come forward and provide their information. If you have a dash camera and were travelling on the Trans Canada Hwy near the Six Mile Rd on ramp on May 24, between 5:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. please contact the West Shore RCMP at 250-474-2264.
West Shore RCMP extends its condolences to the family and friends of the cyclist. We thank the public for their patience as emergency crews attended the scene as traffic was affected for a number of hours.
