Police are investigating another fatal motor vehicle crash in Winnipeg.

Winnipeg police were called to the 100 block of John Forsyth Road near Paddington Road in South St. Vital Saturday afternoon after a pickup truck crashed into a tree and flipped on its side.

A man believed to be driving the vehicle was pinned under the truck and later died, while a female passenger was taken to hospital in stable condition.

This incident comes as at least two councillors call for lowering the speed limit in residential areas.

Police continue to investigate.
