Richmond County District RCMP is investigating a fatal crash that occurred east of St. Peter's near Lynche River.
On August 15, at approximately 2:40 p.m., Richmond County District RCMP, fire services, and EHS responded to a report of a motorcycle crash on Hwy. 4. RCMP officers learned that a Harley-Davidson motorcycle was travelling east on the highway when it left the road.
The driver and sole occupant of the motorcycle, a 62-year-old Sydney man, was transported to hospital by EHS and later pronounced deceased.
An RCMP collision reconstructionist attended the location of the crash; the investigation is ongoing.
Hwy. 4 was partially closed for several hours as investigators were on scene. It has since reopened.
Our thoughts are with the victim's loved ones during this difficult time.
