Virden RCMP are investigating a fatal off-road vehicle collision.
On June 7, 2018, just after 5:35 pm, Virden RCMP received a report of an off-road vehicle collision located approximately three kilometres west of Elkhorn in the RM of Wallace-Woodworth.
Officers attended and determined that a 14-year-old male youth from the RM of Wallace Woodworth was riding an ATV with two others in a gravel pit when he went over a gravel pile.
It’s believed the youth, who was wearing a helmet, was not aware of the steep drop on the other side and rolled over.
The youth was transported to hospital where he died as a result of the injuries sustained in this collision.
The Elkhorn Community School Trauma team has been activated and will be offering services to the students and community members involved.
An RCMP Forensic Collision Reconstructionist is assisting with the ongoing investigation.
