One person was killed and three others were injured Monday night in a two-vehicle crash in the RM of St. Andrews.
Manitoba RCMP say two vehicles collided at the intersection of Highway 8 and Highway 320 at approximately 10:30 p.m.
According to police, a westbound SUV on Highway 230 entered the intersection when it wasn’t safe to do so and collided with a northbound pickup truck towing a camper trailer on Highway 8.
The pickup truck, which was carrying four people, rolled into the ditch. A 20-year-old man from the RM of St. Andrews was pronounced deceased at the scene.
A second passenger, a 44-year-old woman, was taken to hospital with serious injuries. The 46-year-man driving the truck, as well as a 20-year-old female passenger, were treated for non-life-threatening injuries in hospital.
The 17-year-old Winnipeg boy driving the SUV was arrested and is facing charges. He suffered minor injuries in the crash.
Selkirk RCMP continue to investigate.
