A man riding an all-terrain vehicle died early Saturday morning as a result of a crash in Taxis River, the RCMP reports.
The Doaktown detachment issued a news release Saturday indicating that a 56-year-old man from Porter Cove lost his life as a result of an ATV crash earlier in the day.
“On Nov. 4, 2023, at approximately 1:30 a.m., members of the Doaktown RCMP detachment, Ambulance New Brunswick and the Upper Miramichi Fire Department responded to a report of an ATV crash on Route 625 in Taxis River,” the release said.
The sole user of the ATV died at the scene, it said.
Taxis River is located about 65 kilometres north of Fredericton, near Boiestown.
“The crash is believed to have occurred when the driver of the ATV lost control of the vehicle on the shoulder of the road, left the roadway and struck a power pole,” the release said.
“An RCMP collision reconstructionist and the New Brunswick coroner's office are assisting with the ongoing investigation.”
