2 killed in Gander Bay collision

Two people died Thursday night in central Newfoundland when two vehicles collided on a regional highway.

The Gander Bay-area collision occurred around 8 p.m. RCMP said the two people died at the scene, and had been in the same vehicle.

The driver of the other car was rushed to hospital in Gander, but his life is not threatened, the force said in a statement. He had been alone in the vehicle.

The collision, on Route 331 near Rodgers Cove, prompted the closure of a section of the highway for several hours on Thursday night.
