East Hants District RCMP responded to a report of a collision involving two vehicles and a pedestrian on Highway 1 around 3:45 p.m. Saturday.
Police say a red Honda Civic was travelling east on Highway 1 when a blue vehicle, which was travelling west, turned left in front of the Civic.

The pedestrian, a 60-year-old woman from McKay Section, N.S., suffered serious injuries and was taken to hospital by LifeFlight.
RCMP is still trying to identify the blue vehicle that turned in front of the Civic right before the collision.
