On January 20, 2021, at approximately 4:15 pm, Stonewall RCMP received a report of a serious collision on Centreport Way, just west of Bergen Cutoff Road in the RM of Rosser, Manitoba.
Initial investigation shows that the semi was travelling east on Centreport Way when it took the curve, drove through the median, and collided with a minivan in the westbound lane of Centreport Way, ending up in the north ditch.
The 33-year-old male driver and lone occupant of the minivian was transported to hospital with life-threatening injuries, where he was later pronounced deceased. The 37-year-old male semi driver and lone occupant was transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. He remains in hospital. Both males are from Winnipeg.
Alcohol is not considered to be a factor in the collision. However, speed and road conditions are being looked at as contributing causes to the crash.
A Forensic Collision Reconstructionist and the Criminal Collision Investigative Team are assisting with the ongoing investigation.
