A middle-aged man is dead after an ATV accident on the Burin Peninsula.
The crash happened Wednesday night at about 7:30 on the Burin Peninsula Highway near North Harbour.
The ATV was being driven on the shoulder when it veered into traffic to avoid hitting a moose but struck an oncoming car. The operator, a 56-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the scene.
He was wearing a helmet, and neither speed nor alcohol was a factor.
