Despite crews cutting through the window to reach the victim and paramedics attempting aid, the driver died at the scene. The deceased is a male believed to be in his late 70s, RCMP confirm.
Police closed Sylvester Road for several hours while they conducted their investigation. The road has now been reopened.
Although it’s still early in the investigation, police believe the single-vehicle crash was the result of a pre-existing medical condition. Neither weather nor careless driving are believed to be at fault.
