Male victim killed in Highway 101 crash

RCMP confirm a male victim has been killed in a multi-vehicle crash around 8 a.m. Thursday near Ellershouse.

Police shut down eastbound lanes about 15 kilometres east of Windsor between exits 3 and 4, and traffic was being rerouted onto Highway 14.

A traffic analyst was called to investigate the cause of the collision.

In a news release, Nova Scotia Power said one of its line trucks was involved in the crash.

It said the vehicle was being driven from the Annapolis Valley to their Lakeside depot, and the driver is an employee of a professional driving firm contracted out by NS Power.

This is a corrected story. An earlier version identified the victim as female, not male, based on information from the RCMP.
