Pictou County District RCMP is asking for the public's assistance in relation to a vehicle crash that occurred in Lyons Brook.
On July 7, at approximately 7 p.m., Pictou County District RCMP, fire services and EHS responded to a single-vehicle crash on Hwy. 376. RCMP officers learned that a 2007 four-door Honda Civic was travelling on the highway when it abruptly left the roadway, struck a power pole and came to rest in the ditch.
The rear passenger of the vehicle, a 20-year-old McLellans Mountain woman, suffered serious injuries. She was transported to hospital by EHS.
The driver and passenger, who failed to remain at the scene of the collision, have since been identified by investigators as a 37-year-old Scotsburn man and a 20-year-old Westville woman.
