Two people suffered serious injuries after their vehicle collided with two parked cars at a high rate of speed in Langford Sunday night.

The incident occurred at approximately 9:56 p.m. near the 2300-block of Selwyn Road.

Police say that an uninsured 2015 Fiat 500 was travelling at a high rate of speed when it struck two vehicles that were parked on the side of the road.

One of the parked vehicles, a 2006 Audi A3, was pushed nearly 30 feet from its position on the roadway onto the front lawn of a nearby residence.

The other vehicle, a Hyundai Elantra, was rear-ended. Both vehicles sustained extensive damage and had to be towed from the scene.

Two occupants, a 31-year-old male driver and a 41-year-old passenger suffered ‘major injuries” and were transported to the hospital.

According to West Shore RCMP, the driver was exhibiting symptoms consistent with being impaired by alcohol.

“The driver was exhibiting symptoms consistent with alcohol impairment,” said Const. Nancy Saggar of the West Shore RCMP Wednesday.

“Charges are forthcoming as police continue the investigation into impaired driving, dangerous driving causing bodily harm as well as excessive speed and no insurance,” Saggar added.
