RCMP release:
East Hants District RCMP is investigating a fatal crash that occurred in Walton.
On October 17, at approximately 12:12 p.m., East Hants District RCMP, fire services, and EHS responded to a report of a vehicle that had crashed into a residence along Hwy. 215. RCMP officers learned that a Toyota Camry had veered off the roadway, rolled, and came to rest against the house.
The driver and sole occupant of the Camry, a 19-year-old man from Upper Kennetcook, was located deceased at the scene. Nobody at the residence was physically injured.
An RCMP collision reconstructionist attended the scene and the investigation is ongoing. Hwy. 215 was closed for several hours but has since reopened.
