An 11-year-old girl has died as a result of injuries sustained in a two-vehicle collision in Port Hood, N.S. on Monday.
Around 7:30 p.m. on June 21, members with the Inverness County District RCMP were notified of a collision on Highway 19 involving a car and a pickup truck.

The driver of the car, a 23-year-old man, was also uninjured.
The occupants of the pickup truck, a 36-year-old man and a 5-year-old child, were uninjured, according to police.
Highway 19 was closed for several hours. A collision reconstructionist attended the scene and the investigation is ongoing.
Correction
