The Royal Canadian Mounted Police in New Brunswick announced a follow-up to their response to a single-vehicle car crash on Route 104 in Zealand.

A 25-year-old man from Central York Hainesville and a 23-year-old man from Nackawic-Milville died at the scene as the result of their injuries from the single-vehicle crash.
