Driver killed after tractor-trailer goes off Trans-Labrador Highway
A man has died as the result of a traffic accident in Labrador.
One man is dead after the tractor-trailer he was driving went off the Trans-Labrador Highway.
The RCMP say an eastbound tractor-trailer went off the highway and down a steep embankment at Pope's Hill, about 80 kilometres west of Happy Valley-Goose Bay, around 10:30 p.m. Friday.
The lone occupant and driver, a male resident of Quebec who was in his late 50s, was declared dead at the scene.
The transport truck was extensively damaged.
The matter remains under investigation by Happy Valley-Goose Bay RCMP, an RCMP collision analyst and the office of the chief medical examiner.
Police said they will not release the man's name, but said he is from Mont-Joli, Que.
