A 17-year-old boy is dead after a two-vehicle crash east of Carman on Wednesday morning.
RCMP said the collision happened just after 6:30 a.m. on Highway 3. Police said that it appeared the accident happened when an eastbound truck, driven by the teen, slid and hit another truck heading westbound.
Snow- and slush-covered road conditions are believed to have been a factor in the collision, RCMP said in a release on Wednesday afternoon.
The teen, from Carman, died from his injuries, police said. The 4o-year-old Winnipeg man was taken to hospital in Winnipeg and was stable.
The investigation into the crash is ongoing.
