Another day, another crash

Sooke Firefighters were called out Sunday afternoon for another MVI. This one was just past the 17 Mile House and involved a single vehicle that left the road. It jumped a ditch and hit a hydro pole head on, breaking the pole at the base. The driver and elderly passenger were very fortunate in that they did not sustain any serious injuries, although both were transported to hospital by EHS. RCMP are investigating the incident. This is getting to be a tough stretch of road.
