A 37-year-old man from Miramichi, N.B., has died after a two-vehicle collision involving a dump truck.
In a release, the New Brunswick RCMP said officers responded to a crash between an SUV and a dump truck on Highway 105 in Douglas around 2 p.m. Wednesday.
“The driver and sole occupant of the SUV died at the scene as a result of his injuries,” the release said. “The driver and sole occupant of the dump truck was transported to hospital with what are believed to be non-life-threatening injuries.”
