Speed is considered a factor in a crash in Courtenay Thursday that left two people in hospital with serious injuries.
A car was heading north on Highway 19A near Mission Hill about 11:40 a.m. when it clipped another vehicle, veered off the road and into a tree.
Comox Valley RCMP said there’s an indication the car was travelling at high speed.
The 26-year-old male driver and 25-year-old female passenger, both from Courtenay, were flown to hospital with serious injuries, said Comox Valley RCMP spokesman Const. Rob Gardner.
The RCMP’s integrated collision analysis and reconstruction services and North Island traffic services are investigating the crash.
Anyone who witnessed the crash or has information that would assist with the investigation is asked to contact the Comox Valley RCMP at 250-338-1321 and cite file number 2018-2106.
