Nova Scotia RCMP responded to a multi-vehicle crash on Highway 102 Thursday afternoon after a van went airborne and struck several vehicles. As police were dealing with the incident, another multi-vehicle collision happened in the same area while cars were stopped in traffic. Emergency crews responded to the first crash in Lower Sackville around 4:30 p.m. They learned a northbound Chevrolet Express van left the roadway and crossed the median into southbound traffic. It struck a Toyota RAV4, which caused it to become airborne, according to an RCMP news release. “The van then collided with a Buick Enclave before landing on a Chevrolet Colorado and coming to a rest on its side,” the release reads. “A Subaru Impreza subsequently collided with the Colorado while travelling in the same direction.” The driver of the van, along with the drivers of the Toyota RAV4 and the Chevrolet Colorado, went to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Second crash Around 5:15 p.m., an international truck hit a GMC Sierra, a Ford Edge, a Jaguar XKR and a GMC Terrain in the same area, according to police. The Terrain was pushed into a Ford Mustang, which struck a Hyundai Elantra, which in turn hit a Hyundai Santa Fe. A passenger in the Ford Edge went to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. “These collisions resulted in significant traffic disruptions,” the release reads. “Motorists are reminded to drive safely, leave adequate space between vehicles, and remain alert to changing traffic conditions, particularly when approaching slowed or stopped traffic.” For more Nova Scotia news, visit our dedicated provincial page
