A man in his 80s has died after a single-vehicle rollover in a parking garage on Paget Street on Tuesday evening.

The Winnipeg Police Service says in a release that officers responded to the collision around 7:46 p.m. on Tuesday night. The parking garage is part of an apartment complex.

Emergency crews from the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service had already arrived and extracted an elderly man and woman from the SUV.

The male driver was rushed to hospital in critical condition but later died from his injuries.

The female passenger, also in her 80s, was transported in stable condition with injuries that are not life-threatening.

Investigators from the Traffic Division are continuing to examine the circumstances surrounding the collision but say they do not suspect criminal activity.

Police have not yet released the identity of the deceased or further details about what led to the crash.
