MELROSE, NEW BRUNSWICK – Police say a man and a woman from Charlottetown were killed Sunday afternoon when their minivan collided with a pickup truck in Melrose, N.B.
RCMP say the van collided head-on with the truck, which was hauling a trailer along the Trans-Canada Highway near the Confederation Bridge connecting mainland Canada with Prince Edward Island.
A news release says investigators believe the van was heading east when it crossed the centre lane of the highway into the path of the oncoming truck.
It says the 43-year-old male driver of the van and the 37-year-old woman in the passenger seat died at the scene.
Police say the driver and sole occupant of the pickup truck was taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
The Mounties say officials will conduct autopsies on the man and woman to determine exactly how they died.
