On August 3, 2017, at approximately 4:15pm, officers from the Blue Hills RCMP responded to a two-vehicle collision on Highway 10, located two kilometres north of Forrest, in the RM of Elton, Manitoba.
Police investigators believe that a southbound automobile, being driven by 19-year-old female from Brandon, veered over the center line and collided head-on with a northbound pickup truck, being driven by a 45-year-old male from Onanole. The female driver was pronounced deceased at the scene and the male driver was taken to hospital with unknown injuries.
RCMP report that both drivers were wearing their seatbelts and alcohol is not believed to be a factor in the collision.
Officers from the Blue Hills RCMP Detachment along with a Forensic Collision Reconstructionist continue to investigate.
