The driver was transported to Glenboro Hospital and then taken by STARS air ambulance to Winnipeg with serious injuries.

A 22-year-old female passenger from Cypress River was pronounced dead at the scene.

A 46-year-old female was transported to Brandon Regional Health Centre with serious injuries.

A 21-year-old male and 25-year-old female were both transported to Glenboro Hospital and received treatment for their injuries.

Treherne RCMP, with the assistance of the RCMP Criminal Crash Investigation Team, have charged Curtis Cabernel of Cypress River with one count of impaired driving causing death, one count of impaired driving over 80 mg causing death, two counts of impaired driving causing bodily harm, and two counts of impaired driving over 80 mg causing bodily harm.

An RCMP report states Cabernel was released on a promise to appear in Portage la Prairie on Sept. 24.
