Man, 46, dead after ATV rollover in Miniota
A man is dead after an all-terrain vehicle tipped into a ditch and rolled over in a small southwestern Manitoba community Thursday.
RCMP say officers were called to a crash on Fifth Street in Miniota, about 85 kilometres northwest of Brandon, just before 6 a.m. Thursday. When they arrived, first responders from the local fire and emergency departments were already at the scene, a Friday news release from RCMP said.
Police said officers found a side-by-side ATV tipped over in a ditch. The 46-year-old driver, who was the only person in the ATV, was pronounced dead at the scene.
RCMP believe the ATV was going north on Fifth Street when it veered and hit the steep ditch, where it tipped. The driver was not wearing a helmet, police said.
