Mounties say the crash happened eight kilometres south of Stead, Man., at the rural intersection of Road 44E and Road 92N.

Powerview RCMP say an 18-year-old man from Winnipeg was driving when he lost control of the vehicle and rolled over after hitting a ditch. Mounties say they don’t suspect alcohol was a factor, but speed may have affected the rollover.

Police say the 17-year-old victim died of his injuries on Aug. 5, while the driver and a 15-year-old passenger were in hospital with non-life-threatening injuries as of Thursday.

A spokesperson with Manitoba RCMP told Global News Saturday charges are certainly possible.

Mounties along with the forensic reconstruction unit continue to probe the incident.
