A 17-year-old teenager from the RM of St. Andrews has died from injuries sustained in a collision in Selkirk last week.

According to RCMP, two teenage boys were walking east along Manitoba Avenue near Highway 9A on Oct. 15 around 9:30 p.m.

Police said the victim was hit by a vehicle also travelling east on the roadway. In a release last week, RCMP said one of the boys was found lying in a south ditch.

The 17-year-old was taken to hospital by air via STARS in critical condition. The other pedestrian was not hurt.

On Thursday, RCMP said the teenage boy succumbed to his injuries.

“The RMCP expresses their condolences to the family and friends of the victim,” Mounties wrote in a release.

The driver of the car—a 27-year-old man from the RM of St. Andrews—was not injured.

The investigation continues.
