On June 13, 2024, Lundar RCMP received a report that a male youth had jumped out of a moving vehicle on Highway 6 near Road 168 North in the RM of Grahamdale. Officers responded immediately. The 15-year-old male from Pinaymootang First Nation had suffered severe injuries. Officers and civilians on scene provided first aid care until Emergency Medical Services arrived on scene.
The male was in a vehicle with three other male youth when he reportedly opened the rear passenger door and jumped out. It appears the vehicle was travelling at high speeds at the time of the occurrence. The male was transported to local hospital and then transferred to Winnipeg hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
The investigation continues.
