2 people found dead following single-vehicle crash in Cape Breton

Cape Breton Regional Police say two people were found dead following a single-vehicle crash on Grand Lake Road Saturday morning.

Officers responded to the scene near Cape Breton University around 7 a.m. where they say it appears a black Dodge Ram travelling westbound left the road and struck a pole.

Two occupants of the truck, a woman in her 30s and a man in his 40s, were found dead.

Police said the driver, believed to be a man in his 30s, was injured and was seen running from the scene wearing a green sweater and blue jeans.

Police sent out a release Sunday afternoon to say the driver had been located. They would not provide any details on where he was found, his condition or whether charges are being considered.

Traffic safety and forensic identification units are continuing to investigate.

Grand Lake Road was blocked off at Gardiner Road but has since reopened.
