53-year-old man dies in motorcycle crash north of Ste. Rose du Lac

A 53-year-old man from St. Rose du Lac died after crashing his motorcycle on Highway 276 early on Monday.

RCMP from the local detachment were called about a motorcycle that had gone into the ditch in the intersection of Highway 276 and Road 141 West, just north of Ste. Rose du Lac, just after midnight.

Officers found the man lying next to his motorcycle in the east ditch and attempted to revive the victim, but he died at the scene, RCMP said.

Investigators believe the man was driving south, then went off the road on the wrong side after coming to a curve on the highway. RCMP are still probing the crash.
