On August 13, 2015, just before 6pm, Blue Hills RCMP were called to a head-on collision involving two vehicles on Gourlay Road, a municipal gravel road just north of 61N.
Initial police investigation revealed that a southbound pick-up truck collided head-on with a northbound van.
Police say that the driver and lone occupant of the pickup, a 33-year-old Boissevain man, did not suffer any injuries. The driver of the van, a 19-year-old Ontario man, along with a passenger, were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. A third passenger did not suffer any injuries, however, a 20-year-old Ontario man was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Contributing factors to this collision are still being investigated with the assistance from an RCMP Forensic Collision Reconstructionist.
