Ashern and Lundar Police responded to a two-vehicle collision on February 12, 2020, on Highway 6 at the intersection of Highway 68, just north of Eriksdale.

The preliminary investigation suggests a car travelling eastbound on Highway 68 failed to stop at a stop sign and collided with a northbound SUV at the intersection.

Five occupants were in the car, and all were taken to hospital. A 21-year-old woman from Dauphin, who was a passenger in the car, was pronounced deceased in hospital.

There were two occupants in the SUV, and both were transported to hospital.

Ashern RCMP along with a Forensic Collision Reconstructionist continues to investigate.
