Police received 'multiple' calls before Ladysmith, B.C., crash sent 2 to hospital
Police on Vancouver Island say they've arrested a driver after a head-on crash at a highway intersection in Ladysmith, B.C., on Saturday. Nanaimo RCMP say they received multiple calls about an aggressive driver of a Ram 1500 on the Trans-Canada Highway in the minutes before the truck crashed head-on with a Nissan Sentra. Police say the crash occurred at the intersection of the highway and Timberlands Road in Ladysmith around 7 p.m. Saturday. Mounties say the truck was reported to be speeding and hitting other vehicles while running red lights, and the crash happened at a "high rate of speed" after the Ram 1500 allegedly ran a red light, which they say caused significant front end damage to the smaller car. After the crash the truck kept going in the wrong direction in the northbound lane before hitting a median, RCMP say, and the driver fled before being picked up by police. Police say both people in the Nissan were taken to hospital by B.C. Emergency Health Services, and investigators are looking to speak with people who may have seen the truck swerving onto sidewalks, running red lights and hitting a maroon-coloured sedan on Aug. 2 just before 7 p.m.
