On May 22, 2016, at approximately 6:40pm, Ste. Rose du Lac RCMP officers received a report of a side-by-side off-road vehicle resting on its side near the intersection of 90 W and 170 N in the RM of Lakeshore, Manitoba.

Police attended the location and observed a utility terrain vehicle (UTV) on its side near the intersection. The driver and lone occupant of the UTV, a 37-year-old male from Waterhen, was found critically injured and was transported to a local area hospital. He succumbed to his injuries later that evening.

Contributing factors to the collision have not been confirmed but alcohol has been ruled out. A Traffic Analyst is assisting the ongoing investigation.
