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.
