A 64-year-old man is dead after an early Monday morning collision in the rural municipality of Stanley, RCMP say.

Carman and Manitou RCMP were called to a two-vehicle crash around 6:15 a.m. at the intersection of Road 5 N. and Road 25 W., about 15 kilometres southeast of Morden, RCMP said in a Tuesday news release.

Police said two SUVs were in the south ditch when they joined firefighters and paramedics, who were already on scene. 

One of the drivers, a 41-year-old Morden man, was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The other driver, a 64-year-old man from the RM of Stanley, was pronounced dead at the scene. 

It's believed the 64-year-old driver was travelling east on Road 5 N. when he hit the other SUV, which was going south on Road 25 W., RCMP said.

The intersection did not have stop signs for either road, they said.

Pembina Valley RCMP are still investigating the crash, along with the RCMP's traffic analysis and collision investigation team, the release said.
