A dramatic crash reported to Fredericton police just before 4 a.m. Friday has divers searching the waters of the Saint John River near St. Anne’s Point Drive.
A man was taken to hospital by ambulance following the crash and later released.
Police say they have reason to believe there was a second occupant of the vehicle — an adult female — who remains unaccounted for.
An underwater recovery team was dispatched to search the area.
The car left the road off St. Anne’s Point Drive near Regent Street, then careened through a wooded area near a small dock for recreational boats, police say.
The vehicle was extensively damaged.
The investigation is ongoing.
Fredericton police tweeted a photo early Friday afternoon of a person of interest they were hoping to identify in relation to the crash – however they later tweeted they were able to identify the person.
