On June 3, 2010, at 5:10am, RCMP Gimli Detachment were dispatched by a passing motorist to a vehicle reported upside down in a water filled ditch on highway 222, 2 miles north of Camp Morton.
 
RCMP, local area Fire and EMS attended and found a single occupant in the driver seat of the vehicle. The occupant was identified as a 20-year-old male from the RM of Gimli, and was reported deceased.
 
Early investigation suggest the driver was driving a Pontiac Sunfire and heading northbound on Highway 222 when he lost control, rolled and landed in the west ditch. The driver was wearing his seatbelt at the time of the collision.
 
RCMP Gimli Detachment, assisted by an RCMP Traffic Reconstructionist, continue to investigate. 
 
A post mortem will be scheduled at the Health Sciences Centre.
