Two people are dead after an early morning crash on Highway 103 in Nova Scotia Thursday.
RCMP say the two vehicles, which had been travelling in opposite directions, collided. A male and female passenger of one vehicle were pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the second vehicle was taken to hospital and the extent of their injuries is unknown, RCMP say.
RCMP were called to the scene just before 9 a.m. They have been rerouting traffic onto Highway 3 from exits 5a and 6, and say the highway will be closed for several hours.
A collision analyst is on scene assisting RCMP with their investigation, which they say is ongoing.
People have been calling for twinning of Nova Scotia’s 100-series highways, as several collisions happen on the narrow stretches each year.
