The RCMP says a 19-year-old man is dead after a crash in East Hants on Thursday.

According to police, a Toyota Camry veered off Highway 215 in Walton around 12 p.m. The vehicle rolled and came to rest against a house.

“The driver and sole occupant of the Camry, a 19-year-old man from Upper Kennetcook, was located deceased at the scene,” the RCMP said in a media release. “Nobody at the residence was physically injured.”

Police say Highway 215 was closed for several hours but has since reopened.

The investigation into the crash is ongoing.
