One Rothesay Man is thanking his lucky stars after walking away from a serious truck crash last night on the MacKay Highway. Ben Scholten lost control of his truck while trying to avoid a deer and flipped end over end several times before landing in the woods. Scholten is especially thankful he wasn't seriously hurt because he says it took an ambulance more than an hour to arrive on the scene--and-- that has left him asking a lot of furious questions.
Scholten says he crashed the truck just after 8pm and RCMP were the first to arrive on the scene at 9pm, followed by fire trucks and finally an ambulance. He says the paramedics told him that they had only received the call five minutes before arriving. We have placed a call into Ambulance NB and have been told they will look into the incident.
