Police said in a press release that the Antigonish RCMP responded to a report by a man walking on Highway 104 shortly after 10:30 p.m. AT, “probably in traffic.” Police said an RCMP officer hit the man in his police vehicle while patrolling the area in the Addington Forks to search for the man. Antigonis, 22, was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said Thursday morning a man said he also had a collision the previous night on Highway 104 in the same area when he hit an unknown object. “The time frame we work with is similar,” Cpl. RCMP spokesman Chris Marshall spoke about the two conflicts. The Serious Accident Response Team is leading the investigation into the RCMP vehicle collision, and the RCMP will work with police to determine if the two incidents are related, a spokesman said Thursday.
