An infant has suffered serious injuries following a two-vehicle collision that took place in East Hants on Thursday.

Shortly after 12 p.m., emergency crews responded to a report of a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Highway 14 and South Rawdon Road, where a Freightliner truck and a Chevrolet Cruze crashed into each other.

Police said the rear passenger of the Cruze, an infant, suffered life-threatening injuries and was transported to hospital by EHS LifeFlight.
