RCMP investigating after rock piles cause vehicle crashes on highway

Rocks intentionally placed on the Inland Island Highway over the weekend caused vehicle crash and damaged at least two other vehicles. 

Oceanside RCMP responded to two separate incidents between the Little Qualicum River Bridge and Corcan Road.

The first occurred just after midnight on May 3, when northbound vehicle struck stack of rocks and veered off the highway. 

Luckily, no one was hurt. second pile was found an hour later in the southbound lane.

Then, just after a. m. on May 4, three vehicles hit rocks near the Corcan Road overpass, resulting in minor damage but no injuries.

RCMP say the acts could have caused serious harm and are urging anyone with dash cam footage or information to call Oceanside RCMP at 250- 248- 6111, quoting file 2025- 4193.
