On April 7, at 1:20am, officers from the Manitou RCMP responded to a single-vehicle collision in a field off of Road 66 West, approximately five kilometres southwest of Bruxelles, in the RM of Lorne.
Investigators have determined that a pickup truck with two occupants, an 18-year-old male driver and a 15-year-old male passenger, both from the RM of Lorne, were driving in a field when it flipped over.
Police say that the driver, who was wearing his seatbelt, was not injured in the collision. The passenger, who was not wearing his seatbelt, was pronounced deceased at the scene.
As a result of this incident, RCMP have charged 18-year-old Kyle Nolan Devos, from the RM of Lorne, with impaired driving causing death, dangerous driving causing death and several Highway Traffic Act related charges.
Officers from the Manitou Detachment along with an RCMP Forensic Collision Reconstructionist continue to investigate.
