Nova Scotia RCMP say they’re investigating a hit-and-run involving a transport truck on a highway in Smith’s Cove.
Police say around 10 p.m. on Friday night, on Highway 101, a Dodge Caravan pulled over on the shoulder of the road.
The driver opened the door of the caravan to switch seats with a passenger when a transport truck hit the open door.
RCMP say the caravan driver sustained “non-life-threatening injuries,” but the transport truck failed to stop.
