It was the best possible outcome.

On June 2 at 1:15 a.m., Winnipegosis RCMP along with the Fork River Fire Departmant responded to a single vehicle accident on a isolated rural road. The driver tried to avoid a deer and lost control of the vehicle, resulting in ending up in the ditch.

No injuries were reported and the vehicle only received minor damage. 

The Winnipegosis Fire Department is reminding drivers to always be aware of the roads you are travelling on. They say don't always rely on your GPS or Google maps as they are not always updated with current information, especially in rural areas.

"If you are unfamiliar to the area it is recommended to stick to Provincial Roads or Trunk Highways even if it adds a few extra kilometres/minutes to your travels.," said the Department.
