Mounties say a pickup truck hit the ditch on PR 201 and eventually entered the corn field before coming to a stop. Due to the heat from the vehicle, the corn stalks under the pickup truck ignited and the truck burst into flames.

The driver, a 58-year-old man from Steinbach, was found dead. Police say the death does not appear to be suspicious.
