Two men are dead following a crash in a creek in Moncton, N.B., Tuesday morning.
Firefighters pulled the bodies of two men from a vehicle in a Moncton creek following a crash on Tuesday.
Moncton Fire Department Platoon Chief Brian McDonald said they received a call of a vehicle in Hall’s Creek – a tributary of the Petitcodiac River – around 9:20 a.m.
McDonald said when they arrived at the scene, it wasn’t clear if anyone was inside.
“The car was mostly submerged underwater in the middle of the creek and it was relatively low-tide at the time,” said McDonald.
Firefighters had a difficult time gaining access to the vehicle while trying to determine if there was anyone inside.
McDonald said water and technical rescue teams were deployed to try to reach the vehicle in the creek.
“There was lots of water moving. The current was strong at the time. There was always a danger of us being swept away by the water. Once we made the assessment, there was indeed two people in the vehicle,” said McDonald.
