A Winnipeg man is facing charges after RCMP say he slid off a rural Manitoba highway in a stolen vehicle.
Police were called to the report of a crash on Road 36 West, just north of Highway 3, in the rural municipality of Stanley, around 7 a.m. Tuesday.
Investigators say people who stopped to help the driver became suspicious and called police when they noticed the vehicle didn’t have licence plates and saw damage to the dashboard.
