One man is dead and another is injured after two off-road vehicle collisions Monday morning in Nova Scotia.
Police responded to the first crash on Highway 362 in Spa Springs, N.S., around 5:50 a.m.
After arriving on scene, officers learned an ATV was travelling south on the highway when it left the road and stopped in a field.
The driver and sole occupant, a 31-year-old New Minas man was pronounced dead at the scene.
An RCMP collision reconstructionist attended the scene and the investigation is ongoing.
About an hour later, the RCMP responded to another off-road vehicle crash on a trail in New Tusket, N.S.
Officers say a side–by-side was traveling on a remote trail when it rolled and pinned the driver underneath.
The driver and sole occupant, a 65-year-old Shelburne man suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries, and was airlifted to hospital by Lifeflight.
With all of these accidents with side by sides, they'll soon ban those like they did the three wheelers. I would think they would be much safer than just the average four-wheeler. Are these deaths resulting from people not wearing seat belts?? Maybe they should come with a five-point harness. Maybe they already do ????
Can almost guarantee that they accidents come from people using them inappropriately. Certain things are inherently more dangerous that others, like 3-wheelers were much more unstable than quads. But safer things often lead people to trust in the device and perform unsafe maneuvers and then they pay the costs. Look at the accidents on the highways. Very seldom are they NOT caused by excessive speed for the conditions or erratic/unsafe driving practices.
Common sense takes a back seat when no one is watching or keeping track ,
Condolences to the family , 3 kids are now without a Father for what ever the actual reason. Not a good thing at all .

Nothing to say that this could be a medical instant. My friend was telling me yesterday a couple here in the valley where the husband took a stroke, by the time he got to Kentville it was too late. While there the wife at bedside took a stroke but because there she had a better out come. Why are these weird instances happening? Makes one wonder.
Here's one for ya -
A couple weeks ago we were on the 104 just after dark coming home from NB. Coming up to a fair curve in the road we see an odd pattern of lights that appear to be coming toward us IN OUR LANE!!!!!!!! So I start slowing down and finally we can see that about half a dozen ATVs are coming up the WRONG SIDE!!! of the highway between the pavement and a guardrail! So they had actually been on the pavement when we first saw them! Holy shit!
And people would feel bad if I'd killed a bunch of them! They could have killed us - the bastards!!!!
And then to top that off, here comes an old three wheel Honda on the edge of the pavement in the left lane with no F'ing lights on what- so-F'ing-ever. These idiots must have a death wish!! God knows they did not value the lives of my wife and I.
So, call me hard hearted, whatever, I don't care. But its not much wonder some of these types get removed, or I should say, remove themselves, from the gene pool.
I'm not making any comment here about the fellow killed over the weekend. A tragedy. Really. Accidents happen to the best of us and I have no idea the situation there.

Those are the types that play stupid games and win stupid prizes , we have them flying down our street doing 80 km in 50 zone on a blind sharp turn , several have kissed the sidewalk here a few times and got back on and taken off again. Cops have even taken videos of our security cams to try catch these clowns before they kill themselves or someone else .
