Pembina Valley RCMP responded to a report Thursday night about a fatal collision that left one man dead and three injured.
Police say the collision happened at 2:20 am on July 1 on Provincial Road 21 West, approximately three kilometres southeast of Carman, Man., and alcohol is believed to have been a factor.
They say four males were in a pickup truck traveling northbound on PR 21W when it rolled and landed on the passenger side in the east ditch leaving the truck completely burned.
The driver, a 19-year-old male, and the front passenger, an 18-year-old male, were both ejected from the vehicle.
