GRAND FALLS, N.B. — RCMP in New Brunswick are investigating a weekend crash that has left one man dead.

They say officers responded Saturday night to a report that a side-by-side off-road vehicle had gone off a back road in northwestern New Brunswick.

Police say in a news release today that the 36-year-old driver died at the scene near the village of Drummond as a result of his injuries.

The passenger and only other occupant of the vehicle was uninjured.
