A baby has died, with two adults suffering serious injuries following an ATV crash in Nova Scotia’s Lunenburg Co. on Monday evening.
In a release from Nova Scotia RCMP, police say first responders arrived at the scene of a side-by-side crash in the community of Forties, which is about two hours from Halifax.
Police believe a Polaris Rzr was travelling on a narrow gravel roadway before the vehicle rolled and landed on its roof.

“One of four occupants, an infant from Forties, suffered life-threatening injuries,” police said in its statement.
“She was transported to hospital by EHS where she later succumbed to her injuries.”
Two other passengers suffered serious injuries, a 27-year-old female driver and a 52-year-old male, and were transported to hospital following the crash.
The fourth individual, a child from Forties, was also taken to the hospital after sustaining minor injuries.
Forties Road has since reopened after being closed for several hours and investigation into the crash is ongoing.
“Our thoughts are with the victim’s family at this difficult time,” police said.
More to come.
