Both occupants in the vehicle were pronounced deceased at the scene. Their identities are yet to be confirmed.
Police are continuing to investigate.
UPDATE: Monday, June 3 — The two deceased have been identified as a 17-year-old from Winnipeg, who was driving, and an 18-year-old from Winnipeg who was the sole passenger.
