A 22-year-old Doaktown woman is dead as a result of a single-vehicle crash in Boiestown on Monday afternoon, the RCMP reports.
The RCMP’s Blackville detachment issued a news release Tuesday morning about its response to a fatal accident the evening before in nearby Boiestown.
“On Feb. 10, at approximately 5:15 p.m., members of the Blackville, Doaktown and Sunny Corner RCMP responded to a report of a single-vehicle crash on Highway 8 in Boiestown,” the release said.
“The crash is believed to have occurred when the vehicle, travelling northbound, lost control and rolled over several times.”
The driver - a 22-year-old woman from Doaktown, who was alone in the vehicle - was transported to hospital for treatment, but she succumbed to her injuries there, police reported.
In addition to several Mounties, the release said, personnel with the Upper Miramichi Fire Department and Ambulance New Brunswick also responded to the scene.
“A member of the New Brunswick coroner's office and an RCMP collision reconstructionist are assisting with the ongoing investigation,” it said.
“An autopsy is scheduled to determine the driver's exact cause of death.”
