A single-vehicle rollover Thursday (July 1) morning, near Carman, has resulted in the death of an 18-year-old man.
At approximately 2:20 am, Pembina Valley RCMP received a report of the rollover on Provincial Road 21 West, approximately three kilometres southeast of Carman. They say the investigation has determined that four men, all from the RM of Dufferin, were in a pickup truck travelling northbound on PR 21W when it rolled and landed on the passenger side in the east ditch. The truck was completely burned.
The driver, a 19-year-old, and the front passenger, an 18-year-old, were both ejected from the vehicle. The two rear passengers, 19 and 20, had minor injuries and had been able to exit the vehicle.
The front passenger was pronounced deceased on scene. The driver was transported to Winnipeg hospital with serious injuries.
Alcohol is believed to be a factor in the collision.
A RCMP Forensic Collision Reconstructionist and the RCMP Criminal Collision Investigative Team are assisting with the ongoing investigation.
