A 19-year-old male from Rosengart has died as a result of a single vehicle collision on Highway 32 in the early morning hours of Monday.

Morden RCMP responded to the scene half a kilometer west of Road 21 in the R.M of Stanley, and found a pick up truck in the south ditch on fire. The male had been thrown from the vehicle, and was pronounced deceased at the scene.

An 18 year old male passenger from Winkler was also ejected from the vehicle, and sustained non-life threatening injuries and was transported to hospital.

Alcohol is considered to be a factor in the collision. Neither occupant of the vehicle was wearing a seatbelt.

The investigation continues.
