It's also not clear what kind of injuries the man sustained.

No one else was injured in the incident.

Traffic was turned away from the scene of the crash, according to people in the area. The road between Pleasant Bay and the MacKenzie Mountain lookoffwas closed for several hours while police investigated.

An RCMP accident reconstructionist was also on theirway to the scene.
