A 27-year-old man is dead and a 31-year-old man is in custody following a rollover Wednesday morning in St. Anne.

Emergency crews were called to Highway 12, just south of the Trans Canada Highway, shortly after 6:20 a.m. yesterday.

Officers found a 27-year-old man suffering from life-threatening injuries. He was transported to hospital via STARS Air Ambulance, where he later died of his injuries. 

A witness at the scene informed officers that they saw someone attempting to pull the passenger out of the vehicle before fleeing on foot. 

Officers used a drone and help from the Police Dog Services to locate the suspected driver a short distance away. 

The 31-year-old man from the RM of Tache was arrested and taken into custody. 

Anyone with information or who may have witnessed this collision is asked to contact the Steinbach RCMP at 204-326-1234, call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.

Steinbach RCMP, along with a Forensic Collision Reconstructionist, continue to investigate.
