Manitoba RCMP have confirmed that a 68-year-old man from Portage la Prairie was killed in a crash near Oakville this morning.

A potato transport truck driven by a 48-year-old Carberry man was heading northbound on Highway 13 when it collided with the victim's car. It's believed the man was driving eastbound on Provincial Road 331 and did not stop at the stop sign. Emergency crews were called just after 8 a.m.

The semi driver was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

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