4 teens die in single vehicle accident in Nelson

Police respond to accident and submerged car. All occupants perish

At 10:36pm on April 20th, 2019 the Miramichi Police Force, Miramichi Fire Department and Paramedics responded to a single vehicle accident that occurred on Nelson Street just South of its intersection with Rt# 118.

The vehicle had left the road and came to rest upside down in deep water. There were four teenage occupants in the vehicle, two males and two females. All four were transported to Miramichi Hospital where they later succumbed from their injuries.

Nelson Street remains closed to all traffic while a Miramichi Police Force accident reconstructionist investigates the scene. Detours are in place. The names of the four teenagers are not being released at this time pending notification to their families.

Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by this tragedy. Further details will be made available at a press conference, hosted by the responding agencies, at 2:30pm today at Police Head Quarters.
