One man is dead following a pedestrian and a vehicle collision near the intersection of Highway 12 and Road 52N Friday evening.

Steinbach RCMP says the incident took place at 8:10 p.m. in the RM of Tache.

After investigating the scene, police determined that an SUV being driven by a 34-year-old male from the RM of Ste. Anne was travelling south on Highway 12 when it struck a 63-year-old male from the RM of Tache who was walking northbound in the southbound lane. 

The driver of the vehicle immediately called 9-1-1 to report the incident.
