A 19-year-old man from Adamsville, New Brunswick, died Sunday night following a single-vehicle crash in Shediac Cape.

Members of the Shediac RCMP, Shediac Fire Department and Ambulance New Brunswick responded around 10:30 p.m. to a single-vehicle crash on Route 134, according to Corporal Gabriel Deveau.
