Both vehicles sustained substantial damage. The lone occupant of the Ford Tempo was taken to Victoria General Hospital with a pelvic fracture and serious facial injuries. The North Saanich Fire truck was occupied by two senior firefighters involved in a driver training operation, according to RCMP Const. Georgina Josefsson.
