Two people are dead after separate crashes on New Year’s Eve.
In one of the crashes, a 32-year-old Winnipeg man was killed just east of the city.
The collision occurred at the intersection of the Trans-Canada Highway and Settlers Road, in the Rural Municipality of Springfield, at about 6:30 p.m.
RCMP said the man was driving north on Settlers when his vehicle entered the Trans-Canada’s westbound lanes and was hit by an SUV driven by an 18-year-old woman from the RM of La Broquerie.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene, while the woman suffered minor injuries, police said.
Earlier Tuesday, an 18-year-old woman died after an SUV went off a northern Manitoba highway and rolled.
RCMP said the woman, who was a passenger in the southbound vehicle, and the 43-year-old male driver were not wearing seatbelts when the crash happened on Provincial Road 280, about a 30-minute drive south of Split Lake.
Both are from the remote community, police said.
The rollover was reported at about 7 a.m. Firefighters from Split Lake and First Nation safety officers were providing first aid to the woman and man, who were outside the vehicle, when RCMP officers arrived.
The woman died at the scene. The driver, who suffered serious injuries, remains in hospital, RCMP said Thursday.
Both crashes are under investigation.
