The semi-trailer was heading southbound and slowing down to turn west into a driveway when it was struck from behind by the van.

The 59-year-old male driver of the semi truck, who is from the RM of Riverdale, was not injured.

The driver of the van, who is from Brandon, died at the scene.

“Alcohol and seatbelts are not considered factors in this collision,” the RCMP said in a news release. “A RCMP Forensic Collision Reconstructionist is assisting with the ongoing investigation.”
