A 41-year-old man from Gray Rapids, N.B., has died from injuries sustained as a result of a head-on collision in White Rapids, N.B. 

On July 27, 2026, at approximately 10:45 a.m., members of the Blackville RCMP detachment responded to a report of a head-on collision between a dirt bike and an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) on Route 118 in White Rapids. The driver and passenger of the dirt bike, and the driver of the ATV were all transported to hospital with what were believed to be serious, life-threatening injuries. 

On July 31, a 41-year-old man from Gray Rapids died as a result of injuries sustained during the collision. Two other individuals remain in hospital in critical condition.

The collision is believed to have occurred when the ATV, driving southbound, and the dirt bike, driving northbound, were both driving near the centre of the road, and collided head-on. Neither vehicle had headlights on, and neither of the drivers or the passenger were wearing helmets. 

Members of the Blackville Fire Department, Ambulance New Brunswick, and an RCMP Collision Reconstructionist also attended the scene.
