Driver failed to stop when traffic slowed suddenly in the northbound lane last Friday afternoon and slammed into the car in front with such force that the two cars ended up on top of each other.

The driver responsible for a bizarre rear-end crash that backed up traffic on the Malahat last Friday afternoon was prohibited from being behind the wheel and faces charges, say West Shore RCMP.

West Shore RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Nancy Saggar said most vehicles came to a safe stop, but one vehicle, a 2007 Chrysler Sebring, did not stop and rear-ended a 2021 Subaru Forrester.
