An 18-year-old woman has died following a head-on collision on Route 115 in Irishtown, N.B.
On January 12, 2024, at approximately 10:05 p.m., members of the Caledonia and Codiac RCMP detachments responded to a report of a head-on collision between a car and a jeep on Highway 115, in Irishtown.
The driver of the car, an 18-year-old woman from Moncton, died at the scene as a result of her injuries. Four passengers from the same car were transported to hospital, one of which is believed to be in critical condition. The three remaining passengers are believed to be in stable condition.
The driver of the jeep, along with two passengers, were also transported to hospital with what are believed to be non-life-threatening injuries.
The collision is believed to have occurred when the car, travelling southbound, crossed the centre line and struck the jeep, which was travelling northbound.
Members of the Moncton Fire Department, Ambulance New Brunswick, New Brunswick's Coroner's office, and an RCMP collision reconstructionist also attended the scene.
An autopsy will be conducted to determine the woman's exact cause of death.
The investigation is ongoing.
