Mounties said officers responded around 7 a.m. Friday to a report of a single-vehicle crash on Highway 132.
Investigators believe the crash occurred when the driver veered off the road, plunging down a 100-foot embankment and landing on its roof.
A 54-year-old man from Indian Island First Nation, N.B., a 51-year-old man from Upper Rexton, N.B. and a 25-year-old woman from Halifax, N.S., died of their injuries at the scene.
“Members of the Shediac Fire Department and Ambulance New Brunswick attended the scene,” police said.
“An RCMP collision reconstructionist is also assisting with the investigation.”
An autopsy is scheduled to determine the driver’s exact cause of death, police said.
The investigation into the crash is ongoing.
