RCMP is investigating following a fatal crash Thursday morning in Pictou County.
Shortly after 1:35 a.m., Pictou County RCMP say officers responded to a single-vehicle crash along Egypt Road in Hillside, N.S., a community located between Trenton, N.S, and Pictou Landing.
Police say a preliminary investigation has found that the vehicle, which was carrying three people at the time, left the road and overturned.
One woman was pronounced dead at the scene, while two others, a man and woman, were taken to hospital with unknown injuries, according to RCMP.
Egypt Road from Pictou Landing Road to the west and Old Glenfalloch Road was closed for several hours as an RCMP collision analyst investigated.
The road opened near 6 a.m., and police say the crash remains under investigation.
