Lucky Driver Avoids Serious Injuries In 103 Accident

RCMP officers say the female driver of a small car that went out of control earlier this morning on the Gold River Bridge on Highway-103 is lucky to have escaped serious injury.  They say the vehicle, heading east, apparently encountered a sheet of black ice on the bridge, spun out of control, missed colliding with other traffic and rammed a guardrail. The driver was apparently shaken-up by the mishap and paramedics took her to hospital in Lunenburg to be checked out. The Bridgewater-bound lane of the 103 was closed between exits 9 and 10 for more than an hour as the scene was cleared and DOT applied salt to the bridge deck.
