Steinbach man critically injured in motorcycle accident

A motorcyclist is in critical condition following an accident north of Grunthal.

On Friday evening, RCMP say a 24-year-old man from Steinbach was driving south on Provincial Road 216 and pulled out to pass a semi near Road 30 North.

The man lost control, officers say, and hit the shoulder of the road, landing in the ditch.

Police say he was ejected from his motorcycle, and was wearing a helmet.

Speed was a factor, RCMP say, adding no alcohol involved.
