RCMP investigating accident between two side-by-sides in Millville on Sept. 14
A 25-year-old Nackawic woman has died from injuries sustained in a Sept. 14 crash between two side-by-side off-road vehicles in Millville.
The Keswick Detachment of the West District RCMP announced the young woman’s death in a media release on Sept. 23.
The RCMP said Keswick Detachment members, the Millville Fire Department and Ambulance New Brunswick responded at approximately 10:53 p.m. to reports of a collision between two side-by-side vehicles on Route 104 in Millville.
The RCMP believe the collision occurred when the first side-by-side, carrying two individuals, was attempting to cross Route 104 when a second side-by-side travelling Southbound on Route 104 collided with it.
They said the 25-year-old woman, travelling in the first side-by-side, was transported to the hospital with serious, life-threatening injuries and has since passed away.
The second occupant of the same side-by-side was also transported to hospital with what were to be non-life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the second side-by-side, believed to be the sole occupant, fled the scene before police arrived.
An RCMP Collision Reconstructionist attended the scene and is assisting to determine the cause of the crash.
The RCMP is seeking the public’s assistance in investigating the collision. Police ask anyone who witnessed the incident or may have information to help further the investigation to contact the Keswick RCMP at 506-357-4300.
