Two 18-year-old men have died following a single-vehicle crash in Haut-Sheila, N.B.

On November 7, 2022, at approximately 7:20 p.m., members of the Tracadie RCMP responded to a report of a single-vehicle crash near the intersection of Route 370 and Côte Road in Haut-Sheila. One passenger, an 18-year-old man from Chiasson Office, N.B, died at the scene as a result of his injuries. The second passenger, an 18-yeaer-old man from Paquetville, N.B., was transported to hospital where he later died as a result of his injuries. The driver of the vehicle was transported to hospital with what are believed to be serious, life-threatening injuries.

The crash is believed to have occurred when the driver lost control of the vehicle which went into the ditch before rolling several times. Speed is believed to be a factor in the crash.

Members of the Tracadie Fire Department, Ambulance New Brunswick, and an RCMP collision reconstructionist also attended the scene. Autopsies will be conducted to determine the men's exact causes of death.
