On March 26, 2025, at 6:20 am, a Steinbach RCMP officer, travelling on Highway 12, observed a vehicle rolled over in the southbound ditch. 
 
As he stopped at the scene to investigate, a passerby also stopped and advised the officer that he had observed someone attempting to remove a person from the vehicle before that person fled on foot. 

The officer located a 27-year-old male passenger with life-threatening injuries. The victim was transported to hospital via STARS Air Ambulance where he later succumbed to his injuries.

With the assistance of Police Dog Services and a drone, officers located the suspected driver, a 31-year-old male from the RM of Tache, a short distance away. He was arrested without incident and taken into custody.

Anyone with information, or who may have witnessed this collision, is asked to contact the Steinbach RCMP at 204-326-1234, call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477, or secure tip online at www.manitobacrimestoppers.com.
