It was a deadly weekend on Manitoba roads as RCMP continue to investigate a pair of fatal crashes.
On Saturday at around 4 p.m., a 47-year-old motorcyclist died after a crash on McGillivray Boulevard, located near Road 8E in the RM of Macdonald.
Police say a 17-year-old boy heading west in an SUV attempted to pass another vehicle, but hit a motorcyclist heading east. The motorcyclist was pronounced dead while the boy was treated and released on scene.

Two people were thrown from the vehicle. The 31-year-old driver was taken to hospital in critical but stable condition, but the 39-year-old passenger died at the scene.
