UPDATE: Two taken to hospital, Highway 1 reopens after collision
The RCMP reopened Highway 1 through the Kennebecasis Valley shortly after 7 p.m. Wednesday.
Two people have been taken to hospital, one with serious injuries, after a collision on Highway 1 in Quispamsis Wednesday afternoon.
It had been closed for much of the afternoon and early evening after a collision between kilometre markers 141 and 142 in the eastbound lanes.
Kennebecasis Valley Fire Department Chief Shawn White told Acadia Broadcasting two vehicles were involved.
White said one vehicle rolled and trapped the occupant.
That vehicle was also on fire.
White said firefighters extinguished the fire and removed the occupant from the vehicle.
Traffic had been directed off the highway near the Dolan Road Irving, although transport trucks were forced to wait out the closure due to unrelated road closures near Hampton.
RCMP reconstructionists were on scene Wednesday.
