Rosebank, Prince Edward Island

News release

West Prince RCMP are investigating a fatal single vehicle collision that occurred on Route 152 in Ebbsfleet, PEI.

On Thursday, August 3rd, at approximately 8:15 p.m., West Prince RCMP responded to a call of an off-road vehicle collision in Ebbsfleet. Miminegash Fire Department were on scene and Island EMS also responded to the call.

The preliminary investigation appears to show the off-road vehicle failed to negotiate a turn and went into a ditch. A 27-year-old woman was pronounced deceased at the scene and a female passenger was transported to Prince County Hospital with serious injuries and eventually airlifted to Halifax for further treatment.

Provincial Department of Transportation workers closed Route 152 while emergency crews were engaged at the scene. The investigation is ongoing.

Our thoughts are with the victims and families at this difficult time.
