One car crash on Nova Scotia highway leads to eight others, RCMP say

SHUBENACADIE, N.S. — RCMP say a single-car crash on a Nova Scotia highway led to eight other crashes.

It started over the noon hour Thursday, when a 46-year-old man lost control of a Ford Freestyle and drove into a ditch on Highway 102 between exits 9 and 10.

While first responders assisted the driver, an 83-year-old man driving a Ford Fusion struck a fire truck and then rear-ended a second vehicle as well.

RCMP say the driver of the Freestyle was transported to the QEII hospital in Halifax with unknown injuries, while the driver of the Fusion was transported to Colchester Regional Hospital with minor injuries.

The fire truck “sustained significant damage.”
