Manitoba RCMP came upon the collision near the intersection of Road 82 W just before 2:30 p.m.

Police say a westbound vehicle, carrying a 45-year-old woman and her 16-year-old male passenger, crossed the centre line and was stuck by an eastbound SUV. Both occupants of the westbound vehicle, from Neepawa, were pronounced deceased at the scene.
