Release:

RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment is investigating a fatal motor vehicle crash in Musquodoboit Harbour. 

On May 8 at approximately 3:37 a.m., RCMP, EHS and fire services responded to a report of a single-vehicle crash in the 1100 block of Ostrea Lake Rd. Officers learned that a southbound Honda Civic crossed the roadway and rolled into the ditch. 

The youth driver and a youth passenger were transported to hospital by EHS for non-life-threatening injuries. 

A second youth passenger was pronounced deceased at the scene. 

An RCMP collision reconstructionist attended the location of the collision and Ostrea Lake Rd. was closed for several hours.  It has since reopened. 

The investigation is ongoing.

Our thoughts are with the victim’s loved ones at this difficult time.
