Two men from Alberta were seriously injured after their side by side ATV rolled Saturday south of Ile des Chenes.

St.Pierre RCMP responded to the call at approximately 7:45 pm. Investigators believe the machine was northbound in a ditch beside the old Highway 59 when it rolled, ejecting both occupants from the vehicle.

A 53-year-old from Hughenden and a 36-year-old from Calgary were transported to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.

Police say alcohol and speed are believed to be factors. Neither occupant was wearing a helmet and it is unknown whether seatbelts were being used.

The matter remains under investigation.
