Three people from west Africa killed in New Brunswick crash
Three people from west Africa have been killed in a collision in northwestern New Brunswick.
The RCMP responded to the single-vehicle crash on Route 17, outside of Saint-Léonard, N.B., around 1:30 p.m. Thursday.
Police believe the driver lost control of the southbound vehicle, which left the roadway and crashed.
The driver and two passengers all died at the scene. The 30-year-old man, 27-year-old man and 23-year-old woman were all from Côte d'Ivoire.
An RCMP collision reconstructionist and member of the New Brunswick Coroner’s office attended the scene and are helping police with the investigation.
A section of the 400 block of Route 17 was closed to traffic for several hours. It has since reopened.
