A 59-year-old woman from Ochre River has died in a single-vehicle rollover, according to a release from Dauphin RCMP.
Police said they got a report of an iPhone crash notification on May 16 at around 11:45 PM. The crash notification was within a short radius of Highway 5, near Ochre River. A short time later, they received another update that reported a single-vehicle rollover had occurred on Road 140N in the RM of Lakeshore.
When police arrived at the scene, they found a single vehicle had gone into a water-filled ditch and rolled. Police said they believed the eastbound vehicle lost control on the gravel road when it crossed the rail line.
The driver of the vehicle, a 59-year-old female from Ochre River, had been pulled from her vehicle by several passersby, who had come across the scene of the collision. EMS arrived on scene and provided medical assistance to the victim who was later pronounced deceased.
Dauphin RCMP continue to investigate.
