Police said the woman, in her late 60s, became trapped under the truck and was dragged after being struck in the 6600 block of Applecross Road at about 5:45 p.m. Feb. 11. 

“Officers arrived to find the victim being treated for her injuries by BCEHS and City of Nanaimo Fire and Rescue. The victim was transported for medical treatment,” said an RCMP news release.
