Manitoba RCMP say a two-vehicle crash over the weekend claimed the life of an Altona man.
Police were called to the intersection of Highway 30 and Provincial Road 421, approximately three kilometres south of Altona, at around 4:15 p.m. on Saturday.
Police say a southbound pickup truck, being driven by an 80-year-old man from Altona, attempted to turn east onto Provincial Road 421 when he collided with a northbound semi-trailer, being driven by a 29-year-old man.
The man driving the pickup truck was pronounced deceased on scene. The semi driver wasn’t injured.
Pembina Valley RCMP continue to investigate.
