SAINT-LOUIS-DE-KENT, N.B. – The RCMP say a third person has died following a crash last week in eastern New Brunswick involving three vehicles and a moose.

Police say the 58-year-old woman from Pigeon Hill, N.B., died in hospital last Friday, but they only learned of the death Wednesday.

Sgt. Marco Papillon says the woman was one of six people in a truck that was hit head-on by a van Sept. 4 on Route 11 near Saint-Louis-de-Kent.

The Mounties say the van crossed the centre line while trying to avoid a moose on the road but struck the animal and the truck.

A man and woman who were in the van were also killed.

A third vehicle carrying two adults drove off the road to avoid the crash.
