Five people are dead following a single-vehicle crash near Swan River.

RCMP say it happened around 5 pm on Saturday on Highway 83, about 19 km south of the community.

They say an SUV carrying all five people was traveling northbound when the vehicle went off the road and rolled into a field. 

All five people in the car were not wearing their seatbelts at the time and were thrown from the vehicle.

RCMP believe speed was a factor in the crash. 

Two women, aged 42 and 26, as well as three men aged 37, 36, and 25, were all pronounced dead at the scene.

No names or hometowns of the deceased have been released. 

Swan River RCMP continues to investigate along with a Forensic Collision Reconstructionist.
