According to police, a witness saw the collision occurred around 1:45 a.m. in the 1700-block of Cowichan Bay Road.
The witness said the suspected BMW sedan was traveling at a high rate of speed down Cowichan Bay Road with an accompanying car following it when it approached a “slow right turn” in the road and lost control.
The car struck two parked cars, an Audi S5 and a Mazda CCX5, causing significant damage to both vehicles, police say.
