Speed is believed to have been a factor in an ATV collision that killed a Manitoba man training to be a firefighter in The Pas on Monday.
Friends have identified the man as Tyler Manych, who was training with the Manitoba Wildfire Service at around 2:15 p.m. when the accident occurred on Grace Lake Road.
The 23-year-old, from The Pas, had been working in the area when the ATV rolled. He was transported to hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
RCMP say Manych was wearing a hard hat, but not a helmet.
Police continue to investigate
