On August 29, at 7:20 p.m., officers from Pembina Valley RCMP received a report of an ATV (side-by-side) collision involving a 6-year-old boy on a scooter on a private roadway located 16 kilometres north of Pilot Mound.

The initial investigation has determined that the 6-year-old was riding his scooter and came around a blind corner when he was struck by the ATV, being operated by a 19-year-old male. The child was taken to hospital in critical condition where he later succumbed to his injuries. 

Pembina Valley RCMP continue to investigate.
