Manitoba RCMP say a 14-year-old girl is lucky to be alive after the all-terrain vehicle she was driving flipped Wednesday at Manto Sipi Cree Nation, killing a 21-year-old passenger.
Neither person in the vehicle was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash — something Mounties say isn’t just a potentially life-saving choice, but it’s also the law. Courchene said common factors in fatal off-road crashes, in addition to not wearing a helmet, include speed and impaired driving.“Just falling off — if you hit your head and you’re not wearing a helmet, that could be fatal,” she said.
“We had them driving on the highways and different areas of the community without helmets. On that tragic day with the loss of my daughter, she decided not to wear a helmet because she felt that just going a little way down the highway … it wasn’t going to matter, but yes it did. On her return, that’s when she had the accident.”
