A teenager is dead after a rollover in a field in rural Manitoba.

The pickup truck was carrying two people, an 18-year-old man and a 15-year-old male passenger. According to police the pair were driving through the field when the 18-year-old flipped the truck.

The 18-year-old, from the RM of Lorne, is charged with drunk driving causing death, dangerous driving causing death and other offences. He is in custody and will have a court appearance in Portage la Prairie Monday.
