FREDERICTON – New Brunswick RCMP say they believe a fatal crash Monday evening north of Saint John was caused by a driver attempting to avoid a moose.
Mounties say the driver of a southbound vehicle on Highway 7 swerved to avoid the moose, crossed into the opposing lane and struck a northbound vehicle head on.
A 31-year-old man who was driving the northbound vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police say the driver who swerved to avoid the moose was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
A representative of the New Brunswick Coroner’s Office is assisting with an ongoing investigation.
Police say an autopsy will be conducted to determine the man’s exact cause of death.
