A head-on collision on Canada Day has left two people dead and another two with critical injuries.

On Tuesday at approximately 3:30 p.m., Swan River RCMP responded to a crash on Highway 10, around three kilometres north of the community of Bowsman, Man.

RCMP said when officers arrived at the scene, they observed two vehicles on the east side of the ditch—one of which was overturned. Emergency medical services and the local fire department were helping the occupants of the vehicles.

Investigators believe the vehicle headed south on Highway 10 near Road 224 North, veered over the centre line and collided with a stationary vehicle on the eastern edge of the highway, causing a rollover.

A 42-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman who were in the vehicle that rolled were transported to the hospital, where they succumbed to their injuries, according to RCMP.

A 36-year-old man from Winnipeg who was driving the southbound vehicle and a 29-year-old passenger from Swan River, were taken to hospital with critical injuries.

Swan River RCMP along with the RCMP Criminal Collision Investigation Team and a traffic analyst, continue to investigate the crash.
