Quick Summary

A car chase involving a grey Honda Civic ended in two crashes early Sunday morning near Wolfville, Nova Scotia, resulting in one death and four injuries. The incident began when a police vehicle pursued the car at high speed before crashing while attempting an intercept; the officer sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Shortly after, another crash occurred in Grand Pré where the Honda Civic left the road and went over an embankment, leading to the fatality of an 18-year-old man from Prospect Bay and serious injuries to other occupants. The province’s police watchdog will review evidence for potential further investigation.
