Initial police investigation has revealed that a westbound car traveled into the median ditch and rolled over. A passenger, seated in the rear of the vehicle – not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected. The victim, a 23-year-old Winnipeg man, was pronounced deceased a the scene. The driver and another passenger were treated for non-life threatening injuries.
