A teenager from Steinbach was killed over the weekend in a collision involving a dirt bike.

On Sunday at 1:05 pm, Oakbank and Beausejour RCMP responded to a report of a collision between a dirt bike and a train at the railway crossing on Pleasant Road (Road 38E), located just south of Highway 15, in the Rural Municipality of Springfield.

Officers have determined that a dirt bike, travelling south on Pleasant Road, collided into a westbound CN train.

The 15-year-old male from Steinbach, who was operating the dirt bike, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Oakbank RCMP, along with CN Police and an RCMP Forensic Collision Reconstructionist, continue to investigate.
