Four people have been taken to the hospital to be treated for serious but non-life-threatening injuries following a collision in West Northfield.

On Oct. 14 just after 1 p.m. Lunenburg District RCMP responded to a collision on Hwy. 10. where officers learned that an unmarked RCMP pickup truck and a Hyundai Santa Fe collided head-on.

The driver of the Santa Fe, a 64-year old man from Nictaux Falls, and the two passengers, a 77-year-old woman from Nictaux Falls and a youth form Lunenburg were all transported to hospital with serious but non life threatening injures.

The RCMP officer was also transported to hospital with non life threatening injures.

Police closed the road for several hours, but have since reopened it.

Lunenburg district RCMP are asking for anyone who witnessed the collision, or anyone with dashcam footage of the area at the time of the collision to contact them.
