On February 13, 2023, at 8:40 pm, an officer on patrol on Highway 59 came across a two-vehicle collision, located just north of Stead Road, in the RM of St Clements.
Investigators believe that a vehicle travelling northbound on Hwy 59, being driven by a 59-year-old male from Winnipeg, hit the shoulder and overcorrected where it then collided with a southbound SUV, being driven by a 57-year-old male from the RM of St Clements.
The 59-year-old male, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced deceased on scene.
The 57-year-old male was transported to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.
Selkirk RCMP, along with a Forensic Collision Reconstructionist, continue to investigate.
