Collision near Matlock claims life of 69-year-old woman

A crash south of Matlock, Man. has claimed the life of a 69-year-old woman. 

At around 7:45 p.m. on Tuesday, a passerby noticed a vehicle on Chalet Beach Road, about three kilometres east of Highway 9, partially submerged in water in the ditch. 

Emergency crews attended the scene and found a 69-year-old woman from the RM of Rockwood, deceased inside her vehicle. 

RCMP say it appears the woman was driving along a gravel road, when she lost control, went into the ditch and rolled onto her roof.   

The woman was wearing her seatbelt and alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the crash. 

The investigation is ongoing.
