Nanaimo RCMP say a 35-year-old woman suffered life-threatening injuries Wednesday when the transport truck she was driving rear-ended another transport truck about 7:40 a.m. just north of the intersection of Island Highway and Northfield Road.
The 71-year-old man driving the other truck was uninjured and co-operated with police.
Both vehicles will have a mechanical inspection.
Northbound lanes were closed for about six and a half hours while investigators examined the scene.
Northbound traffic was rerouted toward Bowen Road, while southbound traffic was not affected.
Police would like to hear from anyone who has dashcam footage of the crash. Call Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345.
