A 46-year-old Hartland-area man died Sunday following an ATV crash on a highway north of Hartland.
Mounties said Tuesday the Western Valley detachment responded at around 1:45 a.m. to a report of an ATV crash on Highway 103 in Connell, N.B., south of Florenceville-Bristol.
Ambulance New Brunswick also attended to the scene.
“The crash is believed to have occurred when the driver of the ATV missed a turn, hit a guardrail and was ejected from the vehicle,” police said in a statement.
“The driver and sole occupant of the ATV died at the scene as a result of his injuries.”
Police say a member of the New Brunswick Coroner’s Office is working with investigators on the investigation.
An autopsy has been scheduled to determine the man’s exact cause of death.
