A 17-year-old boy from Petitcodiac, N.B., has died following a single-vehicle crash in Turtle Creek, N.B.

Officers responded to a report of a single-vehicle crash on Nixon Road in Turtle Creek on Saturday around 1 a.m., according to a news release from RCMP.

The driver, a 17-year-old boy, was ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene as a result of his injuries.

A 20-year-old man, and the only other passenger in the vehicle, was transported to the hospital with what police say are non-life-threatening injuries.

The crash occurred when the driver lost control of his vehicle, left the road, and struck a power pole, according to police.
