RCMP say they have made an arrest in connection with a hit and run on Route 2 near Oromocto.

A 19-year-old Norton man was struck and killed on Tuesday night.

The man died at the scene of his injuries.

The other vehicle fled before officers arrived.

There’s no word yet on whether charges have or will be laid.
