This seems to be going around social media today...
While the text here seems to be a sincere warning, there is more behind it...
The first thing I noticed is that it is very unlikely that someone would pass out from wearing a face mask. Numerous studies and real-time example have shown that your oxygen level is not depleted when wearing a mask. Now there may be certain medical conditions that may cause problems for people wearing masks, but for the general public, it is not a concern. Thus any way you look at it, the warning is moot.
Secondly, I took a look at the Heart of Newfoundland page. It appears to be an extreme right wing propaganda facebook page. It has multiple posts that are anti-mask citing the usual nonsense of freedoms being squashed and such. The page also has anti-abortion, pro-gun, anti-black lives matter, anti-lgbqt+, anti-diversity, racist and conspiracy posts. Much is easily refuted on their page. So their overall credibility is obviously questionable.
Thirdly, I did a reverse image search and found that the pic is from a 2016 crash in Macon GA. This obviously has nothing to do with the current situation. The original is here: https://wgxa.tv/news/local/one-person-dead-after-two-car-accident-on-presidential-pkwy-in-macon
