A 21-year-old New Brunswick man is dead after an ATV crash in Minto.

Police were called to the scene just before 7 p.m. Saturday.

They say the driver of the ATV drove into a large mud hole and lost control of the vehicle, causing it to roll over several times.

The driver, and sole occupant, was thrown from the ATV.

Police say he was not wearing a helmet at the time and they believe speed may have been a factor in the crash.

The victim’s name has not been released yet.
