One person is dead following a grain truck rollover in west-central Manitoba.
On Oct. 31, the RCMP announced that officers from their Treherne detachment had attended the scene of the rollover the previous day. Treherne RCMP had received reports of the single-vehicle incident on a rural road in the RM of Victoria shortly after 4 p.m.
“The investigation determined the victim was travelling on Road 40 North towards Road 71 West when his grain truck began to drift into the ditch on the right-hand side of the road. The driver over corrected when trying to keep the vehicle on the road causing it to flip over,” RCMP said in their Oct. 31 release.
RCMP noted that the grain truck was not equipped with seat belts.
Emergency services performed CPR on the driver, but he was declared dead at the scene.
The RCMP says investigation into the incident is ongoing.
