Manitoba RCMP are providing an update on a crash on Highway 1 that killed one person Wednesday.

Officers were initially called to a crash on Highway 1 at Provincial Road 206 around 12:30 a.m. on Oct. 23.

Two vehicles, a car and an SUV, were traveling eastbound on Highway 1 side by side when the wheel, control arm and other parts of the car flew off and struck the SUV.

The car stalled and caught fire, while the SUV went into the ditch and rolled.

The driver of the car, a 25-year-old man from Calgary, was able to escape and was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The driver of the SUV, a 59-year-old man from Steinbach, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The 45-year-old passenger in the SUV was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

A third vehicle behind them was also hit by some pieces, and the driver, a 28-year-old woman from Kenora, was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

RCMP Forensic Reconstruction was called in to investigate. RCMP said investigators have confirmed the car crossed the center line and sideswiped the SUV.

RCMP said the mechanical condition of the car did not play a factor in the crash.

RCMP are continuing to investigate the incident.
