On September 7, 2014, at approximately 9pm, Carman RCMP responded to a motor vehicle collision involving two vehicles, approximately nine kilometres south of Morden on Provincial Road 432.
Initial police investigation shows a northbound grain truck attempted a left turn on Provincial Road 432 by moving into the southbound lane. A southbound pickup truck was traveling in that lane and the vehicles collided. The pickup truck rolled and landed in the west ditch.
RCMP report that the 63-year-old male driver of the pickup truck, from the RM of Stanley, was transported to local hospital where he was pronounced deceased. The 56-year-old female passenger of the pickup truck, also from the RM of Stanley, was transported to local hospital in critical condition. She was later updated to stable. The 83-year-old male driver of the grain truck, from Morden, was not injured.
A RCMP Forensic Collision Reconstructionist is assisting with the ongoing investigation.
