A young woman from New Brunswick died after a two-vehicle collision in Keswick Ridge on Friday afternoon.
In a release, the RCMP said officers, along with the Keswick Ridge Fire Department and Ambulance New Brunswick, responded to a report of the collision on Route 616 between a car and a pickup truck shortly after 3 p.m.
“The collision is believed to have occurred when the driver of the car travelling eastbound crossed the centre line, colliding with the pickup truck travelling westbound,” the release said.
It said the sole occupant of the car, a 22-year-old woman from Central Hainesville, died at the scene as a result of her injuries.

Route 616 was closed for four hours Friday but has since reopened.
