New Brunswick: ( CBC NEWS ) RCMP have confirmed that three people are dead following a three-car collision on Highway 126.
A 57-year-old man, a 50-year-old woman and a 47-year-old woman were killed early Sunday afternoon in a crash near Kent Junction. The deceased were all in the same car.
"At this point, I can tell you the road conditions were very slippery and snow-packed," Sgt. Jeff Johnston told CBC News.
The other two cars that were involved carried single occupants. Both drivers were sent to hospital in Miramichi, N.B.
Johnston said he did not believe the two drivers had life-threatening injuries.
The highway in the area is currently closed and is expected to remain closed for a few hours while accident reconstructionists are at the scene.
