Six people were transported to the hospital, some with life-threatening injuries, after a single-vehicle crash in a Pictou County, N.S., community on Thursday night.
In a media release, police said they responded to a report of a crash on Gairloch Road in Union Centre at about 11:45 p.m., when they learned that a Kia Rio left the road, drove through a ditch and across a private property, and came to a rest in a tree line.
“The Rio was occupied by six people at the time of the crash, four females and two males,” police said.
