It was a deadly weekend on Nova Scotia roads with two men killed in separate crashes.
RCMP have released the name of a man killed after the pickup truck he was a passenger in left Highway 7 and crashed, around 3:30 p.m. Saturday.
Police said paramedics tried to revive Matthew Gould, 41, but he died of his injuries. The single-vehicle accident happened on at Bear Hill Road in Musquodoboit Harbour.
The 17-year-old driver of the truck was travelling eastbound on the highway when she lost control and left the road, hitting trees on the passenger side. The teen was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police say weather and road conditions were poor at the time.
In a second unrelated crash, an unidentified man was killed when a car and a snowmobile collided in Debert, N.S.
Colchester RCMP said the crash happened on the Upper Debert River Road, around 8 p.m. Saturday.
The snowmobile driver, a man in his 30s, was pronounced dead at the scene. The victim’s name has not been released.
