Lunenburg County District RCMP is investigating a fatal collision that occurred in Clearland.
On June 6, at approximately 3:30 p.m., Lunenburg County District RCMP, fire services, and EHS responded to a report of a multi-vehicle collision on Hwy. 103. Upon arrival, officers learned that a Dodge Ram travelling westbound entered a construction zone where traffic was stopped due to single-lane access controlled by temporary traffic lights.
The Ram then collided with a Toyota RAV4 before striking a Jeep Cherokee. A fourth vehicle sustained minor damage.
The driver of the Toyota RAV4, a 65-year-old Ottawa man, was pronounced deceased at the scene. The passenger, a 64-year-old Ottawa woman, was transported to hospital by EHS LifeFlight with life-threatening injuries.
No other serious injuries were reported.
An RCMP collision reconstructionist attended the location of the collision. The investigation remains ongoing and is being assisted by the Nova Scotia Medical Examiner Service.
Hwy. 103 was closed for several hours but has since reopened.
Officers thank the bystanders who offered assistance at the scene.
Our thoughts are with the man’s loved ones at this difficult time.
