Dartmouth Woman dies in fatal accident on Highway 101 near Windsor, N.S.

RCMP were on-scene Friday afternoon at a stretch of Highway 101 near Windsor, N.S., where two collisions occurred within the same hour, claiming one woman’s life.

According to a release, RCMP say a transport truck hauling an excavator struck the exit at the Falmouth overpass around 1 p.m.

Although no one was injured, debris from the accident flew and hit another truck behind it.

Police also say the overpass was badly damaged.

About 45 minutes later, officers responded to another collision after a dump truck hit an SUV between Exit 6 (Windsor) and Exit 7 (Falmouth) on Highway 101.

Preliminary investigation revealed the SUV was rear ended by the dump truck, resulting in the death of one of the SUV’s female passengers, which police later said was a 78-year-old woman from Dartmotuh.

The two others inside the SUV were then transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries, while the driver of the dump truck was unharmed.
