The Russell RCMP is investigating a fatal motorcycle collision involving a man from Dauphin.
Yesterday afternoon, officers responded to a motorcycle crash on Highway 482, approximately 10 km west of Highway 83, near the Shellmouth Dam.
The investigation determined that four motorcycles were heading east on Highway 482 together when one driver hit loose gravel. He then hit the guard rail and was thrown from the motorcycle.
The driver, a 49-year-old male from Dauphin, was taken to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries. Police say that alcohol and speed don't appear to be factors in the collision.
