The RNC confirm the death of a 56-year-old man as the result of a two-vehicle collision involving a car and a transport truck on Peacekeepers Way in CBS yesterday afternoon.

The crash forced the closure of the highway for several hours as emergency crews attended to the scene.

Police say the collision occurred on the highway between Fowler’s Road and Mineral’s Road, involving a westbound semi-tractor trailer and an eastbound car. A third vehicle was damaged as a result of the collision which saw the truck jackknife and slam into the guard rail along a steep embankment.

RNC are seeking witnesses or video footage from the area around the time of the collision as their investigation continues.
