A 23-year-old man from Gimli was taken to hospital following a fatal head-on collision north of Thompson on March 20.
Thompson RCMP said officers responded just after 10 a.m. to the crash on Highway 280, approximately 80 kilometres north of the city.
Police say the collision involved two trucks, including one that was pulling a trailer carrying a small excavator. According to RCMP, a southbound truck driven by a 48-year-old Thompson woman attempted to pass a semi-truck when it was unsafe to do so, resulting in a head-on collision with a northbound vehicle.
The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the northbound truck, a 23-year-old Gimli man, was transported to hospital with injuries.
RCMP said no charges are expected. Investigators believe weather conditions, including recent snowfall that reduced visibility, were a contributing factor in the collision.
