female driver from Duncan was taken to hospital with undetermined injuries after her car rolled into the ditch early Tuesday morning near Paldi, police say. Cpl. Jon Stuart of the North Cowichan/

The Nissan left Hwy. 18 along a straight stretch near Hill 60 past Paldi. Earlier reports that a Jeep was involved in the wreck were incorrect. Police are still analyzing the crash’s cause and other details, Stuart said. Charges were not being contemplated at press time Tuesday, he noted. Any witnesses are welcome to call North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP at 250-748-5522.
