Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - There was a truck accident in the 1400 block of Whaletown Road, just outside of Squirrel Cove, yesterday.

Jane Campbell From BC Emergency Health Services informed Cortes Currents that the ambulance received a call at 9:56 AM and quickly responded.

A local source, who did not wish to be identified, believes the problem was black ice. They mentioned two other drivers who slid, but did not lose control. The couple in the truck were not as fortuate. Their vehicle allegedly flipped onto its side and a female passenger was trapped inside. She is said to have been extracted.

Campbell reported, “ Paramedics cared for one patient, who was transported to hospital in stable condition.”
