In the aftermath of a fatal crash in Strait Shores, the community’s mayor said the stretch of road it happened on is an “absolute danger” that requires increased police presence, and better safety measures.
“It’s not the first time there’s been fatalities there,” Annamarie Boyd said Wednesday, the day after two paramedics and a patient in their care died in a collision between an ambulance and a transport truck on Route 16
“Maybe they have to put a few more resources in this area just to ensure there is some RCMP… watching this traffic and watching the speeds.”
