A 28-year-old Dauphin man is dead after an ATV he was driving crashed into a tree Wednesday morning, Manitoba RCMP say.
Officers from the Ste. Rose du Lac detachment were called to Road 95 West near Highway 5, in the RM of Lakeshore, around 7:40 a.m., where they found the man dead at the scene.
The ATV’s passenger, a 26-year-old woman from Crane River First Nation, was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said neither person was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, and that the ATV they were riding in had been reported stolen from the Alonsa area earlier this month.
RCMP continue to investigate, with the help of a forensic collision reconstructionist.
