Woman hospitalized after being struck by beer can following Nickelback concert

A 22-year-old woman with a recent open-heart surgery suffered a medical emergency after a beer can was thrown from a pickup truck, prompting a police investigation.

  • Following a Nickelback concert at Laketown Amphitheatre on Aug. 9, a 22-year-old woman suffered a medical emergency after being struck by a beer can near Youbou Road and Meades Creek Road.
  • Her pre-existing heart condition and open-heart surgery three months ago may have increased vulnerability, as the striking beer can was thrown with such force it was crushed.
  • Once paramedics stabilized her, friends and Smith called 911 and administered CPR until paramedics took over.
  • According to police, the investigation remains ongoing, and Smith said her friend was taken to the hospital after being stabilized.
  • Anyone with information is urged to contact the Lake Cowichan RCMP at 250-749-6668, as Smith said `We have no idea why `.
