Steve Seekins was working over a manhole cover on Monterey Avenue on May 17, 2023 when a black SUV jumped the curb and struck and killed him

Fresh flowers and potted spring plants mark the place where Steve Seekins died on the job in Oak Bay a year ago.

Fisher said several witnesses — including pedestrians, area residents and municipal workers — had to be interviewed, and video evidence had to be collected and reviewed. The driver of the SUV had to be helped out of her wrecked vehicle by paramedics and was treated in hospital. The vehicle was reported to be travelling at high speed, allegedly weaving into oncoming traffic and nearly hitting a child on a bicycle.

“It’s been difficult to watch what they’ve been through. It’s been very hard on them with young children involved,” said Fisher. Seekins’ death has shaken many municipal staff, who considered him a friend. It’s also been a reminder of the potential dangers they face working outdoors.
