Lunenburg District RCMP responded to the missing person’s report early Monday and learned the 39-year-old had not been seen or heard from since Friday, and that his dirt bike was also missing.

At about 10 a.m. Monday, RCMP found the crash site and determined the man had been ejected from his dirt bike during the crash.

Traffic on the highway was reduced to one lane for a few hours but has since fully reopened.

Further investigation into the crash is ongoing.
