A tragic accident has resulted in the closure of Highway 28 in Vilna, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
On Saturday, a fatal crash occurred on the highway, forcing authorities to shut down the road for investigation and cleanup.
Details about the crash are still limited, but the RCMP have confirmed that it was a single-vehicle collision. The vehicle involved was severely damaged and the driver was pronounced dead at the scene.
The identity of the driver has not been released, pending notification of next of kin.
The highway closure caused significant traffic delays and motorists were advised to find alternate routes. The RCMP also urged drivers to use caution and follow detour signs in the area.
The investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing, and the RCMP are asking anyone with information or dashcam footage to come forward.
This tragic incident serves as a reminder for drivers to always prioritize safety on the roads. It is important to follow traffic laws, drive at a safe speed, and avoid distractions while behind the wheel.
The RCMP also reminds drivers to always wear a seatbelt and to never drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
As the investigation continues, the RCMP will provide updates on the situation and the reopening of Highway 28. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the victim during this difficult time.
