On August 10, at approximately 3:10 p.m., Inverness County District RCMP, fire, EHS and Parks Canada responded to a report of a single vehicle crash on the Cabot Trail at North Mountain.

Responders located a motorcycle that had hit the guardrail. The motorcycle rider, a 21-year-old man from Victoria County, was transported to hospital by EHS and pronounced deceased.
