Yesterday afternoon around 4:40, Fisher Branch RCMP responded to an off-road vehicle collision on a Peguis First Nation road.
Officers have determined a 9-year-old boy, from Peguis First Nation, was operating a quad when he drove out from the brush and collided with another quad, being driven by a 13-year-old boy, also from Peguis First Nation.
The impact threw the 9-year-old off his quad and he struck the ground.
After being rushed to the hospital, the 9-year-old succumbed to his injuries.
RCMP say the two boys weren't wearing helmets when they collided.
The investigation is continuing.
