A man has sustained serious injuries after he was struck by a semi on the Trans-Canada Highway in Duncan.
According to North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP, the incident happened on Mar. 23 around 9:40 p.m., in the northbound lane of the highway near Beverly Street and after arriving on the scene they found the man on the ground and the tractor-trailer stopped.
