A Colpitts Settlement, N.B., man is dead following a single-vehicle crash in Grande-Digue early Saturday morning.
The 41-year-old victim was pinned under a Jeep when it overturned shortly after 4:30 a.m. on a trail near Chemin des Lapins.
"Basically we received a call around 4:38 this morning, one of the neighbours was woken up and advised by one of the passengers that there was a jeep overturned and there [were] some passengers pinned," Cpl. Eric Lamarche said.
"Once our members arrived, there was one male that was pinned underneath and had passed away."
Lamarche would not say how many other people may have been involved.
No more information is being released while police investigate.
