Two Eskasoni residents died Friday after a two-vehicle collision on Highway 4 in East Bay, N.S..
Emergency services responded to a report of a two-vehicle collision at 4:19 p.m., according to an RCMP release.
RCMP say a transport truck travelling east and a Chevy Traverse travelling west collided.
The 80-year-old driver and a 38 year-old-passenger, both from Eskasoni, had serious injuries and were taken to hospital by ambulance, the release says. The men later died in hospital.
The driver of the truck, a 46-year-old man from Sydney, was not injured, according to the release.
The release says weather conditions were bad at the time of the crash.
The Rachel Notley government's consumer carbon tax wound up becoming a weapon the UCP wielded to drum the Alberta NDP out of office. But that levy-and-repayment program, and the wide-ranging "climate leadership plan" around it, also stood as the NDP's boldest, provincial-reputation-altering move in their single-term tenure.
