Nine-year-old girl dies after father rolls off-road vehicle: Dauphin RCMP

A nine-year-old girl has tragically died after the off-road vehicle she was riding in rolled over on Monday in rural Dauphin, Manitoba. According to Dauphin RCMP, her 40-year-old father was driving the two-seat utility terrain vehicle on private property when the accident occurred. Despite the efforts of emergency responders, the girl succumbed to her injuries at the scene.

Her father, on the other hand, sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a hospital in Winnipeg for treatment. Manitoba Public Insurance had previously cautioned about the increasing number of young people sustaining injuries in off-road vehicle accidents, noting that over the past four years, the yearly injury count had ranged from 80 to 100.
