N.S. man killed in Summerfield crash
Police investigation into single-vehicle accident along Route 2 is ongoing, reports RCMP
Editor’s note: A previously published version of this story erroneously placed the location of the crash 80 kilometres east of Gagetown, but that was a different Summerfield. We regret the error.
A Nova Scotia man was killed Friday evening in a single-vehicle crash in Summerfield, near Perth-Andover, the RCMP reports.
The victim was a 24-year-old man from Cole Harbour, N.S., the RCMP said in a news release Sunday, noting the incident occurred about 50 kilometres north of Woodstock..
“On Dec. 13, 2024, at approximately 8:06 p.m., members of the Western Valley Region RCMP and the Perth-Andover detachment responded to a report of a single-vehicle collision on Route 2 in Summerfield,” the release said.
“The collision is believed to have occurred when the vehicle, travelling westbound on Route 2, veered off the road and landed in the ditch. The victim, a 24-year-old man, died at the scene as a result of his injuries.”
The release didn’t indicate if he was the sole occupant of the vehicle or if there were others with him.
Ambulance New Brunswick personnel attended the scene, the RCMP said, noting that a collision reconstructionist and an official with the New Brunswick coroner's office are also assisting with the ongoing investigation.
