MILLER LAKE:<\/strong> RCMP are asking for the public’s help to identify the driver of a blue Toyota Echo that was involved in a hit-and-run collision on Hwy 102 in Miller Lake that left one person with serious injuries and shut down the inbound lane for hours on Oct. 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brianna LeBlanc, Communications with N.S. RCMP, said that at approximately 9:10 a.m., Halifax District RCMP received a report of a blue Toyota Echo, with N.S. licence plate GYT158, that was travelling at an excessive speed and went through a red light on Windmill Rd. in Dartmouth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At approximately 9:20 a.m., officers received a second report that the same vehicle was travelling outbound in the inbound lanes on Hwy 118.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortly after, at approximately 9:25 a.m., Halifax District RCMP responded to a head-on collision on Hwy 102 near Miller Lake.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0blue Toyota Echo was observed driving outbound in the inbound lanes when it collided with a Jeep Wrangler. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The driver of the Toyota Echo then fled into the woods adjacent to the collision scene, which would be the back of Schwarzwald subdivision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Officers believe the driver may have been impaired,” said LeBlanc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The driver of the Jeep Wrangler, a 38-year-old woman, and one passenger, a 33-year-old woman, both of Truro, had minor injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third occupant, a 60-year-old woman from Bible Hill had serious injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hwy 102 inbound near Miller Lake was closed for several hours to allow for a Collision Analyst and Reconstructionist to examine the scene. Officers with the assistance of RCMP Police Dog Services (PDS) searched for the driver but were unable to locate them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local firefighters, EHS and the Department of Transportation assisted RCMP members at the scene and with first aid and traffic control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The closure of the road saw traffic rerouted to Hwy 2 and backed up from Fall River lights to the Payzants Home Hardware in Enfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The investigation is ongoing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
