ANTIGONISH: A single vehicle collision left one person dead last week.
Shortly after midnight on October 27, Antigonish District RCMP responded to a call of a single vehicle leaving the road, rolling, and striking a light pole on Highway 4 in Afton Station. The driver and only occupant of the vehicle, identified only as a 30-year-old woman from Antigonish, passed away at the scene.
On Friday, police reported a RCMP Traffic Analyst examined the scene and the investigation is ongoing.
Highway 4 was closed for six hours.
Police have not released the name of the victim but the next day, media outlets reported the name of the deceased as Robin Jane Marie Landry of Afton. A funeral announcement for Landry stated she passed away as result of a motor vehicle collision on October 26.
Landry was the sister of Nicholas Landry, who was one of two victims of a two-vehicle collision on Highway 4 in Tracadie on November 25, 2011.
