On June 2, 2022, at approximately 5:15 pm, Pembina Valley RCMP responded to a single-vehicle collision on Road 19 North in the RM of Roland, Manitoba. The vehicle was on its roof in the spillway and submerged in water.
The local fire department was able to extract a 20-year-old male from Winkler. He was the lone occupant of the vehicle and was pronounced deceased on scene.
Initial investigation has determined that the vehicle was travelling eastbound on Road 19 North when it travelled on an angle into the ditch, where it struck a spillway drain and flipped. The male was wearing his seatbelt and alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the collision.
The investigation is continuing.
