A 29-year-old man from Moncton has died and a 4-year-old girl was seriously injured following a crash Tuesday evening in Irishtown.

RCMP responded at approximately 5:25 p.m. to a report of a collision involving a pickup truck and a car on Route 115, according to Cpl. Chantal Ouellette of the Riverview Detachment.

The driver of the car died as a result of the injuries he sustained in the crash, RCMP said.
