Keswick Ridge crash claims one life
RCMP reports a woman was killed in a single-vehicle incident Friday evening
A woman was killed in a single-vehicle crash in Keswick Ridge on Friday night, the RCMP reports, but a child who was also in the car was unhurt.
The Keswick detachment of the RCMP issued a news release Saturday indicating officers responded to the scene of the crash at about 7:20 p.m. Friday at the intersection of Route 616 and Holyoke Lane.
Also on scene, it said, were personnel from the Keswick Ridge Fire Department and Ambulance New Brunswick.
“The driver, a 37-year-old woman from Keswick Ridge, was transported to hospital where she died from… her injuries,” the release said.
“A young child, and only other passenger of the vehicle, was also located at the scene of the crash and was transported to hospital, but is not believed to have suffered any injuries.”
A collision reconstructionist with the Mounties and a member of the New Brunswick Coroner's office are working with officers on the investigation, it said.
“The crash is believed to have occurred when the driver lost control of the vehicle, left the roadway and rolled several times,” the release said.
“The road was closed for several hours, but has since reopened.”
Police said an autopsy will be done to establish the victim’s cause of death, and the investigation is continuing.
