Police say three people are dead after a crash involving a car and a motorcycle near Miramichi last Thursday.
RCMP said it happened in Little Bartibog, a tiny community north of Miramichi, at about noon.
A 47-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman from Campbellton, and a 37-year-old man from Tilley Road, on the Acadian Peninsula, were all declared dead at the scene, police said in a news release.
They include the driver and sole occupant of the car, the rider of the motorcycle and the passenger on the back of the bike, police said.
“Circumstances surrounding the collision and its cause, are undetermined at this time, and remain under investigation,” according to the news release.
A collision reconstructionist and a member of the Department of Justice and Public Safety also attended the scene of the crash, police said, and a member from the New Brunswick Coroner’s Office is assisting with the investigation.
