A 60-year-old man from Halifax has died following a single-vehicle crash late Friday night in Hebbs Cross.

In a release, the RCMP said officers from the Lunenburg detachment, along with fire services and EHS, responded to the crash on Highway 103 around 11:55 p.m.

“RCMP learned that a car had been travelling east on Highway 103 when it left the roadway and came to rest in a ditch,” the release said.

“The driver and lone occupant of the car, a 60-year-old Halifax man, was pronounced deceased at the scene.”

A collision reconstructionist attended the scene and the investigation is ongoing.
