A deer is being blamed for that fatal accident on Highway 107 at Lake Echo Sunday night.
RCMP say a deer was hit by an SUV coming from the opposite direction and slammed into the victim’s car causing her to crash. The 24 year old woman was pronounced dead at the scene. Two boys, aged 9 and 13, were taken to the IWK with minor injuries.
Police have warned that this is the time of the year is when deer and moose are on the move and drivers need to be especially watchful.
The Trudeau Government will be putting $1.5 billion into a marine protection plan over the next five years.
Environment Minister Catherine McKenna was at the Coast Guard offices in Dartmouth to make the announcement. She said the Coast Guard and Bedford Institute of Oceanography will be getting more funding. There’ll be a new radar station at Chedabucto.
McKenna also said the government will be drawing on the traditional knowledge and expertise of Indigenous communities to protect coasts and waterways more effectively.
