Neepawa RCMP say a 12-year-old girl died after the utility terrain vehicle she was riding in rolled off a rural road in early May.

Mounties were called to the rollover on Road 76 West, south of Road 83 North, at about 7:45 p.m. on May 1, where they found the three girls who had been ejected from the vehicle, RCMP said. Officers have determined the vehicle slid into the ditch and rolled.

The driver and one passenger, both 14, were taken to hospital with serious injuries, while the third girl, 12, was rushed for treatment for life-threatening injuries. She died on May 5. None of the girls were wearing helmets or seatbelts.
