On the night of December 31, 2021, Dauphin RCMP responded to a report of a two-vehicle collision on Highway 10 at the intersection of Road 142 N, four kilometres south of Dauphin.
Officers have since determined that a northbound SUV collided with another northbound vehicle.
The collision pushed the vehicle that was struck from behind into the ditch where it rolled. The 35-year-old male driver, from St. Theresa Point First Nation, was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced deceased on the scene. The 70-year-old male driver of the SUV, from the RM of Dauphin, was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Manitoba RCMP along with Forensic Collision Reconstructionists continue to investigate the collision.
