Two men are dead after a collision south of Lac du Bonnet Tuesday morning.
Police responded to the two-vehicle crash near the intersection of Highway 11 and Road 84 North, shortly after 7 a.m., RCMP said in a news release.
Investigators learned that a vehicle lost control on Highway 11 and hit a pickup truck travelling in the opposite direction.
The 71-year-old driver and 66-year-old passenger of the vehicle that lost control, both of whom were from Lac du Bonnet, died.
The driver of the pickup truck, a 71-year-old man from Beausejour, was not injured. His passenger, a 69-year-old woman, was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said poor road conditions and heavy snowfall are believed to be factors in the collision.
