A spokesperson for Ambulance NB says there was a bit of confusion at a highway accident near exit 137 last night because dispatch in Moncton only received a call for one accident--when in fact there were two. Sophie Cormier tells CHSJ news there was a crash on each side of the highway at the same exit--but--they were not visible to each other.

Cormier says they were only notified of the second accident by police at 8:45pm and were asked to respond with an ambulance by the fire crew at 9:05pm. She says the entire call and response logs will be reviewed.
