A 28-year-old Dauphin man died Wednesday after the ATV he was riding crashed in the RM of Lakeshore.
Manitoba RCMP responded to a single-vehicle crash on Road 95 West near Highway at around 7:40 a.m.
Two people were on the ATV at the time when it was travelling south, went into a ditch and struck a tree.
The driver was pronounced deceased at the scene.
His passenger, a 26-year-old woman from Crane River First Nation, was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
RCMP say neither rider was wearing a helmet when the collision occurred.
The ATV was reported stolen from the RM of Alonsa on July 4.
