Yesterday evening around 8:50, Police from the Morden and Carman RCMP received a report of a two-vehicle collision on Provincial Road 306, located five kilometres south of Plum Coulee.
Investigators believe a southbound vehicle, being driven by a 20-year-old female from Altona, hit the shoulder of the roadway and over corrected, causing the vehicle to collide head-on with a northbound motorcycle. A 54-year-old male driver of the motorcycle and his 53-year-old female passenger, both from Winkler, were pronounced deceased at the scene. The driver of the vehicle and her 20-year-old female passenger suffered only minor injuries.
Alcohol is not a factor in the collision and both vehicle occupants were wearing their seatbelts.
Officers from both the Morden and Carman RCMP Detachments along with a Forensic Collision Reconstructionist continue their investigation.
