The crash, involving a white Dodge Ram pickup truck and a black two-door Honda CRX, was reported around 7:30 a.m. in the 5200 block of West Saanich Road.
The driver of a black Honda CRX was pronounced dead at the scene and was the only occupant of that vehicle.

“Unfortunately one of the drivers succumbed to their injuries and our thoughts are with their family today,” said Cst. Markus Anastasiades of the Saanich Police department.
Police did release details on what led to the crash or whether speed was considered a factor.
