He was pronounced dead on scene.

The pedestrian was wearing dark pants and a dark shirt.

RCMP believe the driver, a 47-year-old male from the Teulon area, was not impaired and said speed was not a factor. He was taken to hospital along with two passengers, a 44-year-old woman and their 3-year-old daughter, with non-life threatening injuries.

Selkirk RCMP and a Forensic Collision Reconstructionist continue to investigate. No charges have been laid.
