“RCMP officers learned that a pickup truck had been travelling on Hwy. 215 when it left the road and came to rest in a ditch,” police said.
The driver, who was the lone occupant of the vehicle, was pronounced dead shortly after East Hants District RCMP, fire and EHS arrived.
A collision reconstructionist attended the scene as the highway was closed for several hours. It has since reopened.
An investigation is ongoing.
