During the early morning hours of January 24, 2016, RCMP members from Lac du Bonnet and Powerview Detachments responded to a report of a head-on snowmobile collision that occurred on English Lake, a remote lake northeast of Manigotagan, MB.

Police say that with no road access to the remote area, members were required to get to the scene of the collision by snowmobile.

Upon arriving, officers found two deceased males. The victims, aged 14 and 49, were both from West St. Paul, Manitoba. A female, also involved in the collision, was transported to hospital in stable condition.

RCMP report that alcohol is not believed to be a factor in the collision. An RCMP Forensic Collision Reconstructionist is assisting with the ongoing investigation.
