HALIFAX – A multi-vehicle accident on the Bedford Highway Friday morning sent six people to hospital with serious, but not life-threatening injuries.
The accident happened inbound around 7 a.m. near the Joseph Howe Drive exit.
Witnesses said it was difficult to determine the direction the vehicles were travelling because they were so badly damaged.

Jill Taylor drove by the scene of the accident, moments after it happened.
“Something drastic must have happened at speed to create what we were seeing there,” she said. ” I can’t get the image of that shoe lying in the road out of my head. It’s very, very unnerving.”
A firefighter was extracting a person from a red truck when Taylor drove by.
The accident had traffic on Highway 102 backed up to Lacewood Drive.
Accident re-constructionists were investigating before the road was re-opened to traffic late Friday morning.
Bus routes through Halifax were also disrupted by the crash.
