Police say a woman was drunk behind the wheel of a vehicle that hit and killed a Peguis First Nation woman last week.
The 27-year-old victim was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries after she was hit by a vehicle on East Road in the First Nation around 11 p.m. Tuesday.
Mounties believe a vehicle travelling north hit the woman while she was walking along the side of the road.
On Monday Fisher Branch RCMP said the woman had since died.
Charges of impaired operation of a vehicle causing death are now pending against a 30-year-old woman originally arrested at the scene of the crash last week.
