Police, fire and ambulance crews responded to a report of a single-vehicle crash on Rio Grande Road in Rio Grande just after 5 a.m.

A 52-year-old man from Beresford, who was the only person in the vehicle, died at the scene from his injuries.
A member of the New Brunswick Coroner’s office also attended the scene.
Police say an autopsy will be scheduled to determine the man’s exact cause of death.
The investigation is ongoing.
