RCMP have released some further information regarding a single vehicle crash Saturday afternoon just south of Steinbach. It happened on Hanover Road, one mile west of Highway #12, around 1:45 p.m. A westbound car went out of control and rolled in the south ditch where it collided with some trees.

The 16-year-old driver, from the RM of Ste. Anne, and a 16-year-old passenger from Steinbach were both transported to hospital in Winnipeg in critical condition with life-threatening injuries.

Police say alcohol does not appear to be a factor. They add both boys were wearing seatbelts. An RCMP collision specialist is assisting in the investigation.
