A single-vehicle rollover on the Fishing Lake winter ice road has left one man dead and another injured, according to Manitoba RCMP.
Police received the report at 3:40 p.m. on March 28 and responded to the scene alongside Pauingassi First Nation Safety Officers. They were informed that both occupants of the vehicle, who were not wearing seatbelts, had been taken to the local nursing station with life-threatening injuries.
The 43-year-old male passenger was pronounced dead upon arrival. The 41-year-old male driver was initially in critical condition and was airlifted to Winnipeg, where his condition was later upgraded to stable.
RCMP continue to investigate.
