A person has died after a two-vehicle collision at the Hyde Creek turnoff on northern Vancouver Island.

The crash happened Tuesday, Sept. 7 around 8:30-9 a.m., says Port McNeill RCMP Sgt. Curtis Davis.

“We can’t speculate on what happened until we get a collision reconstructionist report back, which likely won’t be for a couple months.”

The other person involved in the incident was checked out and had no known injuries.

Davis added they are waiting for the collision reconstructionist report and the coroner’s report prior to charges being considered, and the RCMP won’t be commenting anymore as it’s now a coroner’s file.
