Two people died and two were seriously injured — including a five-year-old — in a crash on Highway 103 in Lakeside, N.S..

Halifax RCMP say they were called to the scene at about 1 p.m. Thursday.

They discovered that a Hyundai Santa Fe travelling east crossed the median and collided head-on with a Jeep Patriot that was heading west.

The driver of the Jeep, a 35-year-old Bridgewater woman, died at the scene. A passenger in the back seat, a five-year-old from Bridgewater, was seriously injured and taken to hospital by paramedics.

The driver of the Santa Fe, a 62-year-old man from Upper Tantallon, also died at the scene. A passenger in the vehicle, a 53-year-old woman from Upper Tantallon, suffered serious injuries and was transported to hospital.

Police say the weather is believed to have been a factor in the crash. The area experienced periods of heavy rain on Thursday.

Highway 103 was closed for several hours but has since reopened.

The investigation is ongoing.
