18-year-old P.E.I. motorcyclist dies in Prince County crash
CBC
A collision late Thursday afternoon has claimed the life of an 18-year-old man from P.E.I.'s Prince County.
The crash happened just before 5:30 p.m. along Route 6 in Margate, just outside Kensington, East Prince RCMP said in a news release.
The initial investigation indicates the 18-year-old driver of a motorcycle lost control just before colliding with a pick-up truck, police said.
The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene, while the driver of the pickup truck was not injured, said Cpl. Gavin Moore, who speaks for the P.E.I. RCMP.
"Any time an incident like this happens, it is shocking, surprising, and with that we certainly send out thoughts to the family that are dealing with this," Moore said.
Route 6, between routes 104 and 107, was closed for several hours while emergency crews worked at the scene.
The investigation included an RCMP traffic reconstructionist, Island EMS, and Kensington police officers and firefighters.
