Commuters who use the Lochside Trail in Saanich will need to reroute their trip home Thursday afternoon.
Sannich Police have closed off a section of the trail between Quadra Street and McKenzie Avenue.
Both entry points to the trail have been blocked off with tape, and officers can be seen investigating an undisclosed incident.
Saanich Police have told Victoria Buzz they would have more information to provide later this afternoon.
According to witnesses the area has been closed off since 1:30 p.m. this afternoon, and pedestrians and cyclists are being detoured.
Photos from the scene show a coroners van as well as the police dive team.
“Please expect cycling and pedestrian delays and detours on the Lochside Trail between Quadra St and McKenzie Avenue as Saanich Police detectives continue to investigate the incident. More details will be released in the coming hours, however there is no risk to the public,” said D/Sgt. Damian Kowalewich.
More to come.
