Two people died and two more are in hospital after a crash on Highway 103.

RCMP say an SUV crossed the median near Lakeside and collided head-on with a Jeep early yesterday afternoon.

Both drivers, a 35-year old woman from Bridgewater and a 62-year old man from Upper Tantallon were pronounced dead at the scene.

A five-year old child from Bridgewater and 53-year old woman from Upper Tantallon suffered serious injuries.

It was raining hard at time of the crash, and police believe weather played a factor.

The highway was closed until late last night.
