On May 4, at approximately 4:50 p.m., an Annapolis District RCMP officer observed a white Ford F150 travelling on Hwy. 201 at 93 km\/h in a 70 km\/h zone. The officer activated emergency lights and attempted to conduct a traffic stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The driver of the Ford failed to stop and turned onto Torbrook Rd., out of sight of the officer. A witness reported that the driver of the truck then began to illegally pass a black Honda Civic when it struck a transit bus and then a telephone pole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The driver and sole occupant of the Ford, a 32-year-old Kentville man, was arrested without incident. He was later transported by EHS to the hospital with minor injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two dogs were found inside the truck. One of the dogs was deceased; RCMP officers rushed the other dog to a local veterinary clinic, where the dog later died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The driver of the transit bus, a 74-year-old-man from Bridgetown, suffered minor injuries. The only passenger on the bus was uninjured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hwy. 201 near Torbrook Rd. was closed for several hours while an RCMP collision analyst attended the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Kentville man was later released and will appear in court at a later date. He faces charges of Dangerous Operation of a Conveyance Causing Bodily Harm, Driving while Prohibited and Flight from Peace Officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
