A six-year-old boy has died after he was hit while riding a scooter by an ATV in southwestern Manitoba Monday, RCMP say.

RCMP were called around 7:20 p.m. to the collision, which happened on a private road about 16 kilometres north of Pilot Mound, a town approximately 150 kilometres southwest of Winnipeg.

Investigators believe the boy rode around a blind corner and was hit by an ATV driven by a 19-year-old man, RCMP said in a Tuesday news release.

The boy was taken to hospital in critical condition, where he later died of his injuries.

Pembina Valley RCMP are still investigating the collision.
