Man in critical condition after ATV crash in Keeseekoowenin

A Brandon man was rushed to hospital in critical condition after an ATV rollover in Keeseekoowenin First Nation on Wednesday night.

Yellowhead RCMP were called to the scene just before 11:30 p.m. and found paramedics treating the injured man, 25, before he was taken to hospital.

Mounties were told two ATVs were travelling south on a trail at a high-rate of speed alongside a truck riding on an adjacent road. One of the ATVs hit an approach at a road crossing and went airborne, causing the driver to lose control and be thrown from the quad.

The driver of the second ATV, a 19-year-old man from the First Nation, is facing impaired driving charges.
