Yesterday, at approximately 14:30 p.m., Kings District RCMP, fire services, and EHS, responded to a report of a two-vehicle collision on Ridge Rd. near the 1200 block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The investigation indicates that a Hyundai Santa Fe failed to negotiate a curve, left the roadway, travelling through the ditch, and struck a woman and a Toyota Corolla located off the roadway. The woman was standing near the Corolla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 87-year-old Berwick woman was pronounced deceased at the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The driver and lone occupant of the Corolla, a 92-year-old Berwick man, suffered minor injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The passenger of the Santa Fe, a child from Berwick, was transported to hospital by EHS for observation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The driver of the Santa Fe, a 37-year-old Berwick woman, was exhibiting signs of impairment. She was arrested and transported to the Kings District East RCMP Detachment in New Minas where a drug evaluation was completed by a Drug Recognition Expert. The woman was not physically injured in the collision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Naomi Janna Gerrits, 37, has been charged with Operation while Impaired Causing Death. She was held in custody and will be appearing in Kentville Provincial Court today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
