Two people died in two separate collisions on the weekend.
On Saturday just after 2 p.m., Virden RCMP responded to a single-vehicle crash on Highway 83.
The vehicle had hit the ditch and rolled several times. The 42-year-old driver from Canupawakpa Dakota First Nation was not wearing his seatbelt and was ejected from the vehicle. He died on the scene.
The 31-year-old passenger, also from Canupawakpa Dakota First Nation, was wearing a seatbelt and was uninjured.
Alcohol and speed are both suspected to be factors in the crash.
On Sunday, Headingley RCMP responded to a fatal crash on Highway 26 in the RM of St. Francois Xavier. A 28-year-old man apparently veered off the road and hit the ditch, and his vehicle rolled over. He was not wearing his seatbelt and was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Alcohol is not believed to be a factor, but speed may have played a role.
Police are investigating both collisions.
