One person is dead after two watercraft collided Saturday afternoon on the Whitemud River, just North of Road 81 North in the RM of Westlake-Gladstone. 

Amaranth and Portage la Prairie RCMP responded to a call around 4:25 Saturday of a collision between a Southbound  Sea-Doo and a Northbound boat.

The two occupants of the Sea-Doo were taken by the boat to a nearby campground where they were met by EMS officials.

The 39-year-old female passenger on the Sea-Doo was pronounced dead at the scene, while the 31-year-old male operator was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Both people on the Sea-Doo hailed from Portage la Prairie.

No injuries were reported to any of the five people on the boat. 

Amaranth RCMP continue to investigate.
