RCMP and firefighters in Queens County kept busy between an accident and fire earlier this afternoon. One person was taken to hospital following a collision between a vehicle and tractor trailer on Highway 8 near the River Road between the NS Power Depot. Staff Sgt. Jeff Wells says the vehicle was hit from behind by the tractor-trailer. That incident happened around 1 p.m. and traffic was tied up for a time. Meantime a number of fire departments responded to a fire at 266 Main Street . The vacant building used to house a book store. The sprinkler system did activate, however, there was a lot of smoke coming from the building and firefighters had to smash down the door to access the building. No word yet on the cause.
