A man is in stable condition in a Winnipeg hospital after being struck by a vehicle while he was lying on the highway south of Flin Flon.

 

Flin Flon RCMP received a report Monday night of a vehicle-pedestrian collision on Highway 10 around 1km south of the city.

 

Mounties have determined that a pick-up truck, being driving by a 59 year-old man, was traveling south on the road when it struck a 35 year-old man who was lying on the highway.

 

The driver of the truck stopped immediately after the collision, and flagged down a passing motorist to call 911.

 

The pedestrian was taken to hospital in critical condition before being flown down south for further treatment.

 

The 35 year-old is now in stable condition, and the RCMP is continuing their investigation into the incident.
