Police say the 32-year-old driver from Winnipeg was heading east when he also rolled his pickup truck into the ditch, not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the truck. He died on scene as well.

Shortly after at about 11:15 p.m., Steinbach RCMP were called to a two-car crash on Hwy. 52 about 2 kms west of Steinbach at Bristol Road.
