A man from the Rural Municipality of Stuartburn was killed in a single vehicle crash earlier this week.

On Thursday at approximately 9:50 am, Emerson RCMP responded to a report of a vehicle submerged in a ditch. The incident happened at the intersection of Road 10N and Road 38E, which is just northwest of Vita. 

RCMP, the fire department and Emergency Medical Services all responded to the crash and located a lone male in the vehicle. The 22-year-old male from the RM of Stuartburn was pronounced dead on scene.

It is believed that sometime overnight the vehicle was travelling south on Road 38E when it turned onto Road 10N, went into the ditch and rolled.

Emerson RCMP along with a Forensic Collision Reconstructionist continue to investigate.
