HALIFAX – A 78-year old woman is dead after an SUV was rear-ended this afternoon on Highway 101 near Windsor, N.S.
RCMP spokesperson Cst. Mark Skinner said the two other passengers in the SUV were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The driver of the dump truck was not injured.
The collision happened around 1:45 p.m. between Exit 6 near Windsor and Exit 7 near Falmouth. In a news release, RCMP said preliminary reports show that the SUV was rear ended.
It was the second accident on that stretch of highway Friday afternoon.
At 1 p.m., RCMP were called to Exit 7, where a transport truck hauling an excavator hit the overpass. Debris from the overpass then fell onto another vehicle travelling behind the transport truck.
No one was injured, but police say the overpass appears to have been significantly damaged.
Highway 101 is closed between Exitx 5 and 8. RCMP expect it to stay closed for several hours.
