The Halifax Chronicle Herald reports:
Sgt. Al Affleck of Colchester RCMP said the ambulance was headed south toward Halifax when it hit the shoulder of the road, left the highway, travelled along the median on its wheels and then came out of the median into the opposite lane of the divided highway. It hit a north-bound Chevy Cobalt on the driver’s side, killing Arthur Lawson Carter, 78, of Truro.Two male paramedics in the ambulance and a female patient being transferred from Sydney to Halifax were treated for minor injuries.
Sgt. Affleck said the road was wet and a light drizzle was falling at the time of the crash around 5 p.m. He said officers at the scene reported no snow on the road.
