The New Brunswick RCMP is reminding motorists to reduce speeds and drive with caution in construction zones following a four-vehicle collision in Nash Creek, N.B.
On July 5, 2022, at approximately 2 p.m., members of the Chaleur Region RCMP, the Belledune Fire Department, and Ambulance New Brunswick responded to a report of a four-vehicle collision on Highway 11 in Nash Creek. Four adults sustained minor injuries, and three of the vehicles were seriously damaged.
The collision is believed to have occurred when the driver of one of the vehicles collided with three other vehicles that were stopped at a construction zone. The road was closed for approximately two hours, and has since reopened.
"Fortunately, no one was seriously injured in this collision, but it could have been far worse," said Cpl. Jean-François Dulac with the Chaleur Region RCMP. "Construction season is upon us, and this is a good reminder for drivers to be attentive when approaching construction zones. Reduce your speed, watch for workers and possible changes in traffic patterns."
The investigation is ongoing.
