Police say the man was pronounced deceased on scene. His 74-year-old female passenger was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.

The 33-year-old man driving the truck, along with his 32-year-old female passenger and three young children, went to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. All of the occupants were from Winnipeg.

RCMP are investigating the crash, but say alcohol doesn’t appear to be a factor.
