“The windows are all smashed out and there’s substantial front end damage as well,” said Stephen Comeau with Halifax Regional Fire.

Hennessy said the 64-year-old female driver was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

She said the other drivers and passengers in the other three vehicles were not injured.

The other vehicles only sustained minor damage, such as scratches and dents.

There is no word yet on what caused the multiple collisions.

Hennessy said it was too early to speculate on whether the 64-year-old driver will face any charges.

 

The vehicles were towed away. One lane of Highway 102 was shut down while emergency crews attended the scene. It was re-opened around 8 p.m.
