A 46-year-old Winnipeg man has died after the cement truck he was driving rolled into a ditch.

The single-vehicle crash happened Tuesday afternoon on Highway 8 in the RM of Gimli.

Manitoba RCMP say the truck was travelling southbound near 17th Avenue when it swerved to the west side of the highway. The vehicle entered the ditch, rolled and trapped the driver inside.

Manitoba Workplace Safety and Health is investigating as the driver was working at the time of the crash.
