Winnipegosis RCMP has charged a 38-year-old male driver after his careless driving led to the death of a 5-year-old.
On April 28th of last year, Winnipegosis RCMP responded to a single-vehicle rollover that occurred on Provincial Road 272, located six kilometers south of Duck Bay.
Officers arrived on the scene and observed that a pickup truck, with three male occupants, had been traveling northbound when it left the roadway and drove through the ditch where it collided with a row of trees and rolled.
The 38-year-old driver and a 32-year-old passenger, both from Pine Creek First Nation, were not injured.
A 5-year-old passenger, who was not properly restrained, had been ejected from the vehicle and pronounced deceased on the scene.
The 38-year-old male driver of the pickup truck, Katlin Lamirande of Pine Creek First Nation, is charged with Careless Driving Causing Death.
He will appear in Camperville Provincial Court on March 28th of this year.
