A 43-year-old man from Lakeville Westmorland, N.B., has died following a single-vehicle crash in Salisbury, N.B., early Saturday morning.
Caledonia RCMP, along with firefighters and paramedics, responded to a report of the crash on Fredericton Road around 5 a.m.
Police believe the crash happened when the driver lost control of the vehicle, left the road and crashed into the woods.
A passenger in the vehicle died at the scene as a result of his injuries. Police say the driver and another passenger were located nearby and taken to hospital with what are believed to be serious injuries.
Cpl. Gilles Savoie of the Caledonia Detachment of the Southeast District RCMP says more details about the crash will be released later in the week.
"We're tying the pieces together, but it's not done yet," said Savoie.
Savoie says police are investigating whether alcohol or drugs played a factor in the crash.
An autopsy will be scheduled to determine the man's exact cause of death.
The New Brunswick Coroner's Office is assisting with the ongoing investigation.
