Two people from Tracadie, N.B., have died after a single-vehicle crash early Saturday morning.

Investigators believe the crash occurred when the driver lost control of the vehicle and rolled over several times. Both occupants were ejected from the vehicle from the impact.
A 21-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene as a result of her injuries. A 27-year-old man was taken to hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries.
