An 87-year-old man from Queens County has passed away after a car collided with a garbage truck in Belfast, P.E.I., on Thursday afternoon. The incident occurred on Route 207 around 2:50 p.m., as confirmed by the RCMP in a press release issued on Friday. According to authorities, the car allegedly did not brake and rear-ended the garbage truck, which was traveling in the same lane. Tragically, the car’s driver was declared deceased at the accident site, while the two individuals operating the garbage truck escaped unharmed. An RCMP collision reconstruction specialist attended the scene, leading to the closure of Route 207 for several hours to facilitate a thorough investigation. The RCMP is collaborating with the provincial coroner’s office as they continue to probe the circumstances surrounding the collision.
