A 64-year-old man is dead after the dump truck he was driving became submerged in the Partridge River in East Preston, N.S. The local fire department was able to remove the man from the truck. He was taken to hospital by ambulance and was pronounced dead there. This accident is the latest in what was a deadly weekend on Nova Scotia's roads. A vehicle crashed and caught fire in Eastern Passage early Saturday morning, killing three people, while a crash in River Philip on Friday night left one man dead after his vehicle left the road and struck a pole.
