RCMP confirmed Tuesday night a pedestrian hit by a camper van in Qualicum Beach late last month has died.
Oceanside RCMP was called to the incident on 1st Avenue and Primrose Road around noon Aug. 28 after witnesses reported seeing a swerving van hit an elderly man walking around the front of his car. Police said the man bounced back and hit his vehicle, causing injuries to his leg and head.
A man was taken to Victoria General Hospital in serious but stable condition. On Tuesday, RCMP confirmed the victim passed away on Aug. 31.
RCMP said after the incident that the driver of the camper van was stopped several blocks down by other witnesses. Police say witnesses were told by the driver, a middle-aged male, that he thought he’d hit a curb.
RCMP says the investigation is still ongoing and no charges have been laid.
