A 35-year-old man has died following a single-vehicle crash involving an ATV in Rollingdam, N.B., on Friday.

Police say the driver, a 35-year-old man from Tower Hill, N.B., was the only occupant of the ATV and died at the scene as a result of his injuries.
Officers believe the crash happened after the driver failed to take a turn, and struck rocks. Police also believe speed and alcohol were factors in the crash.
