RCMP in Manitoba say they’re looking into a fatal crash Sunday afternoon between a train and a dirt bike.
Officers were called to the scene, a railway crossing on Pleasant Road south of Highway 15 in the RM of Springfield, just after 1 p.m.
Police said the dirt bike rider, a 15-year-old from Steinbach, was headed south when he collided with a westbound CN train. The boy was pronounced dead at the scene.
RCMP continue to investigate with the help of CN police and a forensic collision reconstructionist.
