At approximately 6:00 a.m. Elphinstone RCMP attended the scene of a single motor vehicle rollover 2 kilometres north of the intersection of highway 45 and 10, near Erickson, Manitoba.

A south-bound 1998 white Buick Century left the road and rolled several times, coming to rest on its roof. The two male occupants escaped with non-life threatening injuries.

One of the occupants was treated at hospital and released, the other did not require medical attention.

The accident is being investigated by Elphinstone RCMP Detachment in conjunction with RCMP collision analysts, with assistance from Manitoba Highways Department. The cause of the collision remains under investigation, however, alcohol is believed to be a factor.
