Two men are dead following two separate crashes over the weekend, said the RNC in separate news releases on Monday.

The first took place in Conception Bay South. A man was found dead in the area of Chute Place with a dirt bike nearby before 8 a.m. on Sunday.

The RNC says it's looking for video footage from Anchorage Road and Chute Place around the time of the crash, which is believed to have happened overnight Saturday into Sunday.

The second crash happened on the province's west coast in the town of Meadows.

The RNC said it responded to a single-vehicle crash involving a motorcycle around 9:45 p.m. Sunday.

A man was pronounced dead at the scene and the RNC is also looking for video footage from the area of that crash.

Collision analysts are working with the province's chief medical examiner to determine the cause of death for both drivers.
