RCMP Sgt. Rick Bernard tells CHSJ News the call came about 12:20 involving a car and an NB Power Truck.
He says it appears from the evidence that the automobile would have swerved into the oncoming lane hitting the truck head-on.
Bernard tells us there appears to be a picture of a loved one on the keychain of the deceased driver who's keys were still in the ignition.
He expects the highway will be closed to traffic for at least two hours as there is a lot of debris on the highway.
A detour is in place on Highway 7 sending motorists off the roadway at Welsford and in the
other direction from Geary.
