Police say the vehicle was the same blue Honda Civic that crashed around 11:15 p.m. on Saturday on Highway 101 near Falmouth, N.S.
The vehicle was last seen at a restaurant on Highway 1 near the 11600 block in Grand Pre, N.S.
Police are seeking information from the public on the whereabouts of the car prior to 7:20 p.m., when they received a report about a possible impaired driver.
Investigators say physical evidence gathered at the scene of the crash indicates the Civic was travelling in the opposite direction of traffic in the eastbound lanes when it collided with a Nissan Sentra about 1.5 km from Exit 7.
Four people were pronounced dead at the scene, a 50-year-old man died later in hospital, and a 29-year-old man from British Columbia was listed in critical condition.
