SIX ROADS, N.B. – A dramatic, three-vehicle New Brunswick crash involving a logging truck has claimed the life of a Canton-des-Basques man.
Tracadie RCMP say the man was driving on Highway 11 near Six Roads Thursday afternoon when his car crossed the centre line and collided with a transport truck hauling logs.
Police say the driver of the car died at the scene, while a female passenger was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
They say the driver of a second car was unable to avoid the collision, but the 27-year-old woman and her two children under the age of five were not injured.
RCMP say the truck driver lost control of his rig following the collision and went off an overpass, slamming into the road below.
They say the 43-year-old man was taken to hospital but is expected to survive his injuries.
An RCMP collision reconstructionist is assisting with the investigation.
