A 30-year-old woman from Swan River has died after she was struck by a vehicle on Highway 10, about 6 kilometres north of Swan River early Sunday morning.
Around 1:20 a.m. on Sunday, July 5, RCMP say a vehicle driven by an 18-year-old from Saskatchewan was travelling northbound on Highway 10 when it collided with the female pedestrian.
The woman was taken to hospital where she was later pronounced dead. The driver of the vehicle was treated in hospital for minor injuries.
Police believe the woman had been driving alone when her vehicle ran out of gas. After parking her car at the side of the road, officers believe she may have been struck while attempting to flag down a passing vehicle for help.
Police have not released the name of the deceased at this time.
Swan River RCMP continue to investigate.
