Major accident on Highway 118 near Dartmouth Crossing

A major accident on Highway 118 near Dartmouth Crossing closed the inbound lane heading towards Dartmouth and slowed down traffic outbound.

Staff Sgt. Lindsay Hernden says at 4:30 p.m. an 18-wheeler dump truck carrying a load of gravel lost control, swerved, knocked down several light standards before veering across the highway and striking the concrete median and an outbound vehicle.

“EHS, fire crews and police were called to the scene,” said Sgt. Hernden. “As well as members of the Department of Transportation and Environment.”

The driver of the truck was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The woman who was driving the second car was not injured. Police were on the scene for about two hours.
