One person is in hospital with serious, life-threatening injuries after a three-vehicle collision near St. Ann’s last night.
Police say they were called to the scene, between the exits for Baddeck and St. Ann’s, shortly after 7 PM.
When they arrived, they found a pickup-truck, a Honda Civic, and a Jeep had been involved in the crash.
Five people were injured and taken to hospital; the driver of the pickup was airlifted to hospital in Halifax with life-threatening injuries.
The highway was closed overnight as emergency crews cleared the scene; it has since reopened.
