A section of Highway 104 northwest of Truro was closed for several hours after a fatal collision early Thursday.

RCMP say a pedestrian, a 40-year-old man from Moncton, died at the scene after he was struck by an eastbound pickup truck in Crowes Mills at about 4 a.m.

The truck driver, who was unable to avoid the pedestrian, did not suffer any physical injuries, police said.

The eastbound lanes of the highway were closed while RCMP officers, including a collision analyst, investigated the collision.
