A 33-year-old man is dead after losing control of a vehicle and striking three power poles in Kings County on Saturday evening.
In a media release from RCMP, police said first responders arrived at about 8:25 p.m. to a report of a single-vehicle crash on Highway 1 in the rural town of Berwick.
“The driver and sole occupant of the Volkswagen, a 33-year-old local man, was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced deceased at the scene,” police said in a statement.
The area of the highway where the crash occurred, near Windermere Road, was closed for several hours as a collision reconstructionist attended the scene. The stretch of road has since reopened.
“Our thoughts are with the victim’s loved ones at this difficult time,” police added.
An investigation is ongoing.
