Collision on N.S. highway kills 1
A woman died in a head-on collision on Nova Scotia's Highway 103 on Tuesday morning.
Nadine Ann Rogers, 38, of Marriott's Cove died at the crash site close to Exit 6 near Hubbards.
The RCMP said a pickup truck was travelling west when it collided with an oncoming SUV just after 6 a.m. The injured driver was rushed to hospital in Halifax.
Rogers and the other driver were the only ones in the vehicles.
There is no word on what caused the crash. The RCMP said the road was dry at the time.
Highway 103 — 10
Highway 104 (Truro to C.B.) — 4
Highway 101 (Annapolis Valley) — 3
Highway 102 (Halifax to Truro) — 3
Traffic was rerouted for several hours while investigators were at the scene.
Ten people died in crashes on Highway 103 in 2008, including a head-on crash near Hubbards in December that killed two university students and injured five other people.
An online petition calls on the provincial and federal governments to twin the highway between exits 5 and 13, and upgrade the road to Exit 19 by 2010. The petition has more than 3,700 signatures.
