Several charges have been laid after a fatal weekend crash in eastern New Brunswick.
RCMP say a car hit a motorcycle on Route 11 near Saint-Louis-de-Kent around 3 a.m. Sunday.
Investigators believe both vehicles were travelling southbound at the time of the crash.
The 36-year-old Riverview man who was driving the motorcycle died at the scene.
The driver of the car was taken to the hospital with suspected non-life-threatening injuries.
RCMP said officers arrested a man from Elsipogtog First Nation later that same day.
A 26-year-old appeared in court on Wednesday and was charged with five offences:
- failure or refusal to comply with demand
- accident resulting in death (alcohol)
- operating a motor vehicle while suspended
- failure to stop after an accident resulting in death
- operation while impaired
The accused was released from custody and is scheduled to return to court at a later date.
