A 15-year-old boy has died after his dirt bike collided with a deer in the RM of Dauphin on Saturday evening.
Manitoba RCMP say the teen, who was not wearing a helmet, was thrown from the bike around 9:50 p.m. on Road 114W and later died in hospital from his injuries.
“I offer my sincere condolences to the family, to the community, and to everyone who is grieving today,” said S/Sgt. Mark Smaill, detachment commander of the Parkland RCMP. “This is a heartbreaking tragedy that will have a lasting impact on so many within the Dauphin area.”
RCMP continue to investigate.
