A man who lives near Richibucto says a blind hill by his home needs to be fixed before it causes more accidents.

Allan Marsh lives on the St. Charles Road South near the eastern village of Richibucto, not far from a head-on crash on Friday afternoon.

Marsh said there have been six collisions near his house in the past 15 years.

"One of the accidents damn near got my kids," Marsh said.

Marsh said there's a blind hill on the road that he believes is distracting drivers.

But he hasn't been able to convince the authorities that it exists and that it needs to be fixed.

"We've brought it to the attention of the Department of Transportation, the police, the politicians,” he said.

Marsh said he blames the hill for the latest collision that happened on Friday, shortly before 7 p.m.

4 injured, charges expected

Four people were transported to hospital, said RCMP.

A 28-year-old woman from Elsipogtog and a 23-year-old woman from Dieppe remain in critical condition, while a 34-year-old man from Saint-Charles has serious injuries, but is listed in stable condition.

A 24-year-old woman from Richibucto has been treated and released.

Police believe the vehicle that was travelling westbound crossed the centre line and collided head-on with the eastbound vehicle.

The preliminary investigation suggests speed may have been a contributing factor and charges are anticipated, Sgt. Jeff Johnston stated in a release.

The investigation continues with the help of an RCMP collision reconstructionist.

RCMP were unable to confirm the number of accidents at the location in question.

But Marsh said he’s been in the area for a long time and he can explain to the police precisely what the problem is.

In fact, Marsh said, he can see the problem from his driveway when he looks down the St. Charles South Road.

"We lose sight of cars coming up the hill for approximately two to three seconds. We see them enter the hill and then we lose them,” he said.
