Prince District RCMP, along with fire and EMS, responded to a two-vehicle collision near the intersection of Mud Road and MacPhee Road around 7 p.m. Friday.
According to police, the 52-year-old man was the driver of one of the vehicles and was pronounced dead at the scene.
“The other vehicle was driven by the 27-year-old woman and she was travelling with two children. The 3-year-old was also pronounced dead at the scene,” said Scott Ferris, with the P.E.I. RCMP, in a news release Saturday.
