St-Pierre-Jolys RCMP news release sign

On November 5, 2022, at approximately 7:30 pm, St. Pierre-Jolys RCMP were notified that a serious collision had occurred at the intersection of Krahn Road and Doerksen Road in the RM of Ritchot. When police arrived on scene, a 60-year-old male from the RM of De Salaberry was receiving medical care on the road, but was unresponsive. He was pronounced deceased on scene.

Initial investigation has determined the pickup truck driven by the male was travelling north on Krahn Road and entered the ditch at full speed where the road ends. It appears the male was not aware the road ended as there were no visible attempts made to stop the vehicle. The male was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the collision.

The investigation continues.
