On March 22, 2017, shortly before 4pm, Carman and Morden RCMP responded to a serious motor vehicle collision just south of Winkler, Manitoba.
Police say that an eastbound pickup truck collided with a southbound SUV at a controlled intersection. The driver of the SUV, a 34-year-old Deloraine woman, suffered minor injuries. The driver of the truck, a 19-year-old RM of Stanley man, was transported to hospital, where he remained for several days in critical condition before succumbing to his injuries.
RCMP report that alcohol is not considered to be a factor in this incident. The female driver was wearing her seatbelt and at this time it is unclear if the male driver was belted.
An RCMP Forensic Collision Reconstructionist is assisting with the ongoing investigation.
