A 30-year-old Dauphin woman is dead after a head-on crash Wednesday night on Highway 68, east of Ste Rose du Lac.
Manitoba RCMP said their investigation has determined that an eastbound minivan with two men from Winnipeg struck a deer, causing their vehicle to swerve into the westbound lane.
They then crashed head-on into a westbound vehicle.
The driver of the westbound vehicle was pronounced dead on scene, and her 44-year-old male passenger was taken to hospital with serious injuries. Another passenger, a one-year-old infant, wasn’t hurt.
