Three people injured after car hits pedestrian, crashes into Victoria cancer clinic

Three people were injured after a driver hit a pedestrian then crashed into the BC Cancer Clinic near the Royal Jubilee Hospital.

The crash, which occurred near Bay Street and Lee Avenue, happened around 9 a.m. this morning, and VicPD says at this time the cause is believed to be driver error.

Drugs or alcohol are not believed to be a factor.

A witness told CHEK News they saw a vehicle speeding “very fast” before it crashed into the building.

Victoria Police say the driver hit the pedestrian in a crosswalk, then proceeded over the curb into the nearby building.

The male pedestrian suffered non-life-threatening abrasions.

The female driver required treatment at the scene for non-life-threatening injuries.

The female passenger in the vehicle was taken to hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.

None of the occupants of the building were injured, and the pedestrian suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

VicPD says officers will be on scene for several hours, and patients trying to access the BC Cancer Clinic will have to access it from Trent Street.

Victoria Police say officers continue to investigate and ask anyone with information to call the Report Desk at (250) 995-7654, extension 1. To report what you know anonymously, call Greater Victoria Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
