Nova Scotia’s Highway 104 was the scene of two major car crashes yesterday, one involving a fatality, and the other leaving one man in critical condition.
A 62-year-old Bedford man was taken to Halifax by EHS Life Flight yesterday after sustaining serious injuries in a collision that occurred in Colchester County between exits 18 (Kemptown) and 18A (Mount Thom).
RCMP say the man crashed his pickup truck into a tractor trailer parked on the shoulder of the road. Reports say the man and woman in the tractor trailer had no injuries.
Another crash on the same highway happened earlier in the day when a man in Pictou County was killed after losing control of his minivan near Broadway. RCMP say the man crossed the centre line and swerved into a ditch.
38-year-old Craig Alexander MacNeil from Antigonish was killed as a result of his injuries from the motor vehicle crash.
Traffic analysts were called to both accidents, and both crashes are still being investigated.
