A B.C. woman was injured and required “life-saving first aid” after she was struck by a half-empty beer can thrown from a passing vehicle.

RCMP said it happened close to midnight on Saturday near Lake Cowichan in the area of Youbou and Meades Creek roads.

Police say the 22-year-old woman was walking with three others when she was struck by the can that they believe came from a moving pickup truck.

The woman’s injuries were not described, but police say she was “revived through life-saving first aid on scene.”

Police say the victim was taken to hospital and is in stable condition.

Investigators are asking for anyone with information or dashcam footage of the event to contact police.
