A two-vehicle crash in Winnipeg left one man dead and two others facing charges after police found a loaded sawed-off shotgun in one of the cars.

The man driving the other vehicle, the only person in that car, was taken to hospital for precautionary reasons but not injured, police said.
The 45-year-old is charged with impaired driving, criminal negligence causing death, dangerous operation of a vehicle causing death and nine firearms-related offences.
The 32-year-old is charged with 10 firearms-related offences.
