Westshore RCMP say the driver of a pickup truck hit a rock wall and landed on the front yard of a Langford home yesterday.

Investigators determined the vehicle was travelling in the 800-block McCallum Rd (towards Florence Lake Rd), when it crossed into the oncoming lane, over the sidewalk, hitting a maple tree and finally crashing into a rock wall on the front lawn of a home.

The driver was taken to the hospital.

Police found a small amount of narcotics inside the truck, and are trying to determine if impairment was a factor in the crash.

RCMP say incredibly the driver was the only one injured.
