RCMP are currently investigating the death of a man on the Key First Nation.
RCMP spokesman Sgt. Brad Kaeding says a 38-year-old resident was riding his bike on the main road on the reserve at around 10:30 yesterday morning when he was struck by a fuel truck.
Kaeding says the man received immediate care on the scene, but eventually succumbed to his injuries.
The RCMP say reduced visibility from dusty conditions on the gravel road may have been a contributing factor.
The 39-year-old driver of the truck, who is from Norquay, was not hurt.
The Mounties say, so far, no charges have been laid.
