Police in New Brunswick are investigating a fatal crash that occurred on the weekend.

RCMP say 26-year-old Benoit Leger of Cap-Pelé died early Sunday after his vehicle left the road and struck two trees on Acadie Street.

Leger was the lone occupant of the vehicle.

Police say a preliminary investigation suggests that Leger was not wearing a seatbelt and was thrown from the vehicle at the time of the crash.

They also say it appears speed and alcohol were contributing factors to the crash.
