Halifax District RCMP investigate fatal collision
Halifax District RCMP is investigating a fatal collision that occurred on Hwy. 102 in Goffs.
On November 17, at approximately 7 a.m., Halifax District RCMP, fire, and EHS responded to a report of a multi-vehicle collision between exits 5a and 5.
Upon arrival at the scene, RCMP officers learned that traffic on Hwy. 102 had slowed to a stop due to an unrelated collision ahead, resulting in a pile-up. A Dodge Ram 1500 travelling south on Hwy. 102 collided with a Subaru Outback. Both vehicles then hit a Ford F-150 before the Ram 1500 came to rest in the median of the highway.
The passenger of the Ram 1500, a 64-year-old Valley woman, was pronounced deceased at the scene. The driver, a 73-year-old Valley man, suffered serious injuries and was transported to hospital by EHS.
The driver of the Subaru, a 48-year-old Grand Lake man, suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to hospital by EHS.
The driver of the Ford F-150 was uninjured.
A collision reconstructionist attended the scene and the investigation is ongoing.
Hwy. 102 was closed for several hours but has since reopened.
