Winnipeg police say a 27-year-old man died Saturday evening after the vehicle he was driving crashed into a building.

The incident happened in the city’s north end shortly after 9:00 p.m.

The force says officers attempted to stop a car near Selkirk Avenue and McKenzie Street after noticing its insurance was out of date.

The driver didn’t stop for police, but officers decided not to pursue.

A short time later, the same vehicle was found to have crashed into a building nearby in the 500 block of Selkirk Avenue.

Police say the driver was taken to hospital in critical condition, where he was pronounced deceased.
