The RCMP say a missing man who was involved in a collision in Pictou County has been found dead.

Police responded to the single-vehicle crash on Highway 104, near Marshy Hope, N.S., on Sunday.

Officers found a damaged Volkswagen Jetta in the ditch, but the driver was missing.

The driver has been identified as 38-year-old Christopher Salsman of Halifax.

Police searched the woods with the help of a service dog, but they were initially unable to locate Salsman.
