Yarmouth Rural RCMP is investigating a fatal crash that occurred in Pubnico.
On May 30, shortly after midnight, RCMP officers, fire services, and EHS, responded to a report of a single vehicle crash on Hwy. 335 near Cross Rd. RCMP officers learned that a GMC Sierra was travelling on the road when it left the roadway and came to rest in the ditch.
The driver, an 18-year-old man from West Pubnico, was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The passenger, a 21-year-old man from Lower West Pubnico, suffered serious injuries and was transported to hospital by EHS.
A collision reconstructionist attended the scene and the investigation is ongoing.
The highway was closed for several hours but has since reopened.
Our thoughts are with the victim's loved ones at this difficult time.
