Halifax District RCMP is investigating a serious vehicle crash that occurred in Hatchet Lake.

Yesterday, shortly before 3 p.m., Halifax District RCMP, fire and EHS responded to a report of a crash on Prospect Rd near Club Rd. RCMP officers learned that a Hyundai Tucson was travelling south on the road when it crossed the centre line and then came to rest in the ditch. 

The driver and lone occupant of the Tucson, an 80-year-old Terrence Bay woman, suffered life threatening injuries. She was transported to hospital by EHS.

A collision reconstructionist attended the scene and the investigation is ongoing.

Prospect Rd. was closed for several hours but has since reopened.
