A 20-year-old man died on Wednesday after he collided with a semi-trailer on Winnipeg's south Perimeter Highway, RCMP say.

At about 10:45 p.m., Mounties responded to a report of a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of the south Perimeter Highway and McGillvray Boulevard, RCMP said in a news release on Friday.

Investigators have determined a southbound vehicle, which was being driven by the 20-year-old from Winnipeg, hit a northbound semi-trailer as it was making a legal left hand turn on to Highway 3.

The man, who was not wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash, was taken to hospital where he later died of his injuries.

The 38-year-old man driving the semi-trailer wasn't physically hurt.

RCMP are investigating with the Forensic Collision Reconstructionist.
