Nova Scotia woman lucky to be alive after "terrifying" head-on crash sends Jeep flying on highway

The victim of a hit-and-run on a Nova Scotia highway over the weekend said she’s thankful that she and her family are alive after the dramatic crash sent them flying.

“To walk away from it is unreal,” said 38-year-old Robyn Tidd of Truro, N.S., who was driving a Jeep Wrangler along Highway 102 near Miller Lake with her wife and mother-in-law Saturday morning when they were struck by a blue Toyota Echo.

She described the incident as “terrifying.”

The driver of the Echo, which was travelling outbound in the inbound lanes, fled into the woods after the crash and remains at large, police say.

Tidd and her wife were taken to hospital and discharged later that day with minor injuries. Her mother-in-law continues to recover in hospital, but Tidd is grateful that things didn’t turn out worse.

As Zack Power reports, police are continuing to search for the driver of the blue Toyota Echo.
