A 64-year-old man is dead after striking a moose while driving on the Trans-Canada Highway near Goobies, N.L., on Tuesday night.

The RCMP says the crash happened just after 7 p.m. NT, when a vehicle struck a moose, crossed into the oncoming lane and struck another vehicle.

The driver of the car that struck the moose died at the scene. He was the only person in the vehicle. The driver of the second vehicle — who was also travelling solo — was taken to hospital in Clarenville with non-life threatening injuries.

The highway was closed until midnight. Police say the investigation is continuing.
