Grand Rapids RCMP are investigating a fatal vehicle-pedestrian collision. 

Yesterday around 6:50, the RCMP received multiple calls of a man walking in the middle of the road on Highway 6, north of Devil’s Lake. 

While en route, officers were notified the man had been struck by a semi-trailer. 

When the officers arrived on scene, a 29-year-old man from Cross Lake was pronounced dead.

It's believed that the driver of the semi-trailer, a 61-year-old man, was travelling south on Highway 6, when he was unable to avoid the pedestrian and collided with him.

Grand Rapids RCMP along with a Forensic Collision Reconstructionist, continue to investigate.
