Through their investigation, the RCMP determined that a white semi-trailer truck — which was not hauling a trailer at the time — collided with a car, causing it to spin out of control and slam into the cement median at the centre of the road.

Police say that although the driver of the semi-trailer truck initially pulled over, they eventually fled the scene without checking on the status of the people in the vehicle or providing details.

A passenger in the car was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The Mounties believe that the semi-trailer truck would have red paint transferred onto its front right corner as a result of the crash.

Anyone with information on the collision is asked to contact RCMP at 902-896-5000.
