A 10-year-old boy has died following a snowmobile crash near Rosebank, Manitoba.
RCMP say it happened at around 7:40 p.m. on Sunday evening on private property.
Officers learned the boy was operating a snowmobile with a group of family members when he side-swiped a fence causing him to lose control of the snowmobile and collide with a tree.
The child was wearing a helmet and other safety equipment at the time of the crash.
He was transported to hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries.
RCMP continue to investigate.
