“The collision is believed to have occurred when the vehicle travelling eastbound encountered a mechanical issue which caused the driver to lose control, colliding with a second vehicle travelling westbound,” police said in a statement.
Police added that a member of the New Brunswick Coroner’s Office is assisting with the investigation, which is still ongoing.
