East Hants RCMP is investigating a vehicle accident that took place in Shubenacadie, N.S., on Monday night.

At about 6:20 p.m., RCMP, fire and EHS responded to the collision on Highway 102.

RCMP said a Nissan Versa was headed south on the 102 collided with the guardrail before coming to a complete stop.

As two of the five people in the vehicle exited, they were hit by a BMW 328 that was also going south.

RCMP said the driver of the BMW, a 54-year-old Halifax man, was “extricated from the vehicle and airlifted to hospital by LifeFlight in critical condition.”

The injured occupants of the Nissan Versa were a woman from Dartmouth and an 18-year-old woman, both of whom suffered life- threatening injuries and were taken by ambulance to the hospital.
