Three people, including a child, were killed in two separate collisions on Highway 101 in Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley over the Thanksgiving weekend.

A woman and child died in a five-vehicle collision in Wolfville, N.S., Saturday morning. 

Kings District RCMP, fire and EHS responded to the crash on Highway 101 just before 8:30 a.m.

Police say a transport truck was travelling east when it struck four vehicles that were stopped for construction on the highway.

A 62-year-old woman and a child, who were travelling in a black GMC Acadia, died at the scene. Police say they were both from East Kingston, N.S.

A 40-year-old woman who was also travelling in the vehicle was airlifted to hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Police say no other injuries were reported.

Police also responded to a fatal collision on Highway 101 Monday afternoon.

The RCMP says a westbound Dodge Journey and eastbound Ford F150 collided in Berwick, N.S., before 4 p.m.

The driver of the Dodge Journey died at the scene. The 38-year-old man was from Middleton, N.S.

The 49-year-old driver and 19-year-old passenger– both from Greenwood, N.S., -- of the Ford F150 were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
