Truck driven by Selkirk man was hit by another vehicle that crossed over centre line, police say
Police believe alcohol was a factor in a crash that killed a Selkirk, Man., man Friday night.
Emergency crews were called to the two-car crash on Highway 59, just north of the Highway 12 junction in the RM of Alexander, shortly before 8 p.m.
Police say a southbound truck driven by a 30-year-old man from the RM of St. Clements, who was travelling with a 31-year-old male passenger — also from St. Clements — crossed the centre line.
The truck crashed with a northbound pickup truck driven by a 50-year-old man from Selkirk, who was travelling with a 38-year-old man and 39-year-old woman, also from Selkirk.
The 50-year-old driver of the pickup truck was pronounced dead at the scene.
The four others involved in the crash were taken to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.
No charges have been laid in the crash, and RCMP continue to investigate.
