Man thrown from vehicle and injured in highway rollover crash in Lantzville

Accident happened on Island Highway near Rumming Road on Sunday night

A man was injured after being thrown from his vehicle in a rollover crash on the side of the highway in Lantzville on Sunday night.

The accident happened at about 9:30 p.m. on the Island Highway just south of Rumming Road. A sedan went off the shoulder of the highway northbound and down an embankment, ending up on its side.

Emergency personnel said one man was taken to hospital with injuries that were unknown, but serious enough that a traffic reconstructionist was expected to attend the scene.

RCMP Police Dog Services was also there to assist with the investigation, as it wasn’t known if there might have been a second occupant of the sedan.
