RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment is investigating a fatal crash that occurred in French Village.
Yesterday, at approximately 7 a.m., RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment, fire, and EHS, responded to a report of a vehicle crash on Peggys Cove Rd., near the 12000 block. RCMP officers learned that a GMC Canyon was negotiating a curve when it left the roadway and struck a tree.
The passenger of the vehicle, a 28-year-old Hacketts Cove woman, was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The driver of the vehicle, a 29-year-old Glen Haven man, suffered serious injuries and was transported to hospital by EHS.
A collision reconstructionist attended the scene and the investigation is ongoing.
Peggys Cove Rd. was closed for several hours but has since reopened.
Our thoughts are with the victim's family at this difficult time.
