A 51-year-old man from Port Alberni has been taken to the hospital after driving off the road in Qualicum Beach on Monday morning.
According to Cpl. Jesse Foreman of the Oceanside RCMP, the man was driving a 2018 F-150, heading south on Memorial at Hilliers Road.
“He suddenly drove off the road when he hit a pickup truck, which in turn hit a b-train trailer, like semi-trailer,” said Foreman.

RCMP are uncertain as to the cause of the accident, reported at 6:42 a.m., and no one else was injured.
