A 60-year-old man is facing Impaired Driving Causing Death charges after a 69-year-old female from Peguis was killed.
On November 29 at 6:45 p.m., Fisher Branch RCMP responded to a two-vehicle collision on Highway 17, about six kilometres south of Fisher Branch. A pickup truck being driven by the 60-year-old was travelling south on Highway 17 when it collided head-on with an SUV with two occupants, a 69-year-old female and a 71-year-old female, both from Peguis.
The 69-year-old was pronounced dead on the scene while the 71-year-old was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The 60-year-old man was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries where he was later arrested for Impaired Driving Causing Death and released for a future court date.
