One person has died following a two-vehicle crash early Tuesday on Highway 59 near Niverville.
RCMP say it happened at around 6:30 a.m. when a southbound vehicle, being driven by a 44-year-old woman from New Bothwell, crossed over the centre line and collided head-on with a northbound vehicle, being driven by a 52-year-old man from New Bothwell.
The crash, near Stott Road in the RM of Ritchot, claimed the life of the woman, who was pronounced deceased on scene. The man driving the other vehicle was taken to hospital by STARS Air Ambulance with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.
RCMP continue to investigate.
