On September 22, at approximately 2:15 p.m., Kings District RCMP, fire services, and EHS responded to a report of a single-vehicle crash on Highway 101 near Exit 14. Officers learned that a Volkswagen GTI was travelling west and veered off the road on the north side of the highway.

An RCMP collision reconstructionist attended the scene and the investigation is ongoing.

Hwy. 101 was closed in both directions between exits 13 and 14 for several hours, but has since reopened.
