St. George RCMP say a 17-year-old boy from Utopia has died following a single vehicle crash in Lepreau.
Police said in a release they received a call about a single-vehicle crash on Route 1 near Lepreau.
“The driver and sole occupant of the vehicle died at the scene as a result of his injuries,” the release said. “The crash is believed to have occurred when the driver of the vehicle lost control, left the roadway, and rolled over several times.”
Members from the Musquash Fire Department, Ambulance New Brunswick (ANB), and the New Brunswick Coroner’s Office also attended the scene.
A collision reconstructionist with the RCMP is helping with the investigation and an autopsy is expected to be performed to determine the exact cause of death.
