A 23-year-old New Maryland man is dead after a crash near Waasis, New Brunswick.

RCMP believe on Thursday night, a driver who was speeding the wrong way on Route 7 collided head-on with another vehicle.

When police arrived, they found one driver, a 23-year-old man, suffering from life-threatening injuries. He died in the hospital a couple of hours later.
