On July 8, 2022, at approximately 5:25 pm, Steinbach RCMP received a report of a two-vehicle collision on Highway 52, between Road 38 East and Road 39 East in the RM of La Broquerie, Manitoba. When officers arrived on scene, two vehicles were on their roofs on both the north and south sides of the highway, and EMS was attending to several people.

Initial investigation has determined that a minivan was travelling eastbound on Highway 52 when a westbound SUV crossed the centre line and collided head-on with the minivan. The 61-year-old male driver of the minivan, from the RM of La Broquerie, was pronounced deceased on scene. The passengers in the minivan, a 54-year-old female and a 12-year-old male, were transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The 38-year-old male driver of the SUV, from Steinbach, was also transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. He has since been released from hospital and charges are pending.

A RCMP Forensic Collision Reconstructionist and the RCMP Criminal Collision Investigation Team are assisting with the ongoing investigation.
