At around 11:15 a.m. that day, RCMP in Warman, north of Saskatoon, got a report of an ATV rollover near Highway 60 and Channels Road.
Police and emergency medical services responded and the ATV rider — a 13-year-old boy from Saskatoon — was pronounced dead at the scene, RCMP said.
And around 2:15 a.m. on Sunday, Manitoba RCMP received a report of a missing 70-year-old man from Faulkner, about 200 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg, on the east side of Lake Manitoba, police said in a Monday news release.
Just after 5 a.m., as they were preparing to start searching at sunrise, RCMP got a report of a single ATV rollover on Faulkner Road. The driver of the ATV was the 70-year-old who had been reported missing. When police arrived, the man had been pronounced dead.
Their investigation determined the ATV rolled on a trail close to Faulkner Road. The man was not wearing a helmet and was injured by the rolling ATV, police said.
