Halifax District RCMP is investigating a serious vehicle crash that occurred in Hatchet Lake.

Yesterday, shortly before 3 p.m., Halifax District RCMP, fire and EHS responded to a report of a crash on Prospect Rd near Club Rd. RCMP officers learned that a Hyundai Tucson was travelling south on the road when it crossed the centre line and then came to rest in the ditch.

A collision reconstructionist attended the scene and the investigation is ongoing.

Prospect Rd. was closed for several hours but has since reopened.
