Queens District RCMP is investigating a fatal crash that occurred in Pleasant River.
Yesterday, at approximately 1:20 p.m., Queens District RCMP, fire services, and EHS, responded to a report of a vehicle crash on Hwy. 208 near the 4200 block. RCMP officers learned that a Mercedes Sprinter van was travelling on the highway when it left the roadway and came to rest in the ditch.
The driver and lone occupant, a 44-year-old man from the Halifax Regional Municipality, was pronounced deceased at the scene.
A collision reconstructionist attended the scene and the investigation is ongoing.
Hwy. 208 was closed for several hours but has since reopened.
Our thoughts are with the victim's loved ones at this difficult time.
