Police as transport left the road and hit a pedestrian and a building
The West District RCMP reported that a 65-year-old woman died following a single-vehicle crash in New Denmark.
The Saint-Léonard RCMP Detachment said members of the detachment responded at approximately 1:07 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 24, to the report of the single-vehicle crash at the intersection of Route 108 and Hansen Crossing Road in New Denmark.
They said the Drummond Fire Department and Ambulance New Brunswick also responded.
Police believe the crash occurred when the driver of a transport truck lost control of his vehicle, left the roadway, entered a parking lot, and struck a pedestrian and a nearby building.
The RCMP said a collision reconstructionist and a member of the coroner’s office attended the accident scene. Police also used a remotely piloted aircraft system to take aerial photos of the scene.
The investigation is ongoing.
