Victoria County District RCMP is investigating a fatal crash that occurred on the Cabot Trail and is seeking information from witnesses.
On May 30, at approximately 7:45 p.m., RCMP officers, fire services, and EHS responded to a report of a single-vehicle crash on the Cabot Trail near Blaze Rd. in Big Intervale.
Officers learned that a white Honda Civic had left the road and hit the ditch. One occupant of the vehicle, a 20-year-old man from South Harbour, was pronounced deceased at the scene. A second occupant was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Several bystanders assisted the two occupants of the vehicle while first responders were on their way to the crash. Officers appreciated their support.
An RCMP collision reconstructionist attended the scene. The Nova Scotia Medical Examiner Service is involved in the investigation.
Investigators ask that any witnesses who have not yet spoken with police, and anyone with dashcam footage that shows a white Honda Civic on the Cabot Trail or surrounding roads during the evening of May 30, to contact Victoria County District RCMP at 902-285-2021.
Our thoughts are with the man’s loved ones at this difficult time.
