Two men from Harvey have died following a collision involving a utility task vehicle (UTV) and another vehicle in Tweedside, southwest of Fredericton.
Members of the St. Stephen RCMP responded to a report of the collision on Tweedside Road at about 2:44 p.m. on Saturday.
Police believe the crash occurred when a vehicle travelling south on Tweedside Road crossed into the opposing lane and collided with the UTV.
The two occupants of the UTV, a 52-year-old man and a 43-year-old man, both from Harvey, died at the scene as a result of their injuries, RCMP said.
The driver of the vehicle, a 28-year-old man from Fredericton, was taken to hospital with injuries believed to be non-life-threatening.
Members of Ambulance New Brunswick, the St. Stephen Fire Department and the RCMP’s Forensic Collision Analysis Team also attended the scene.
Tweedside Road was closed for several hours while investigators processed the crash scene but has since reopened.
RCMP said an autopsy has been scheduled for the two deceased men.
Investigators are still working to determine all the circumstances surrounding the collision.
