If you read the article one could guess it happened Mon. morning with the autopsy taking place Monday. Sad for sure.

You could guess that it happened early Monday morning. Or Sunday morning. Or Saturday morning. How hard would it have been to specify?

A man has lost his life, and the discussion turns to the calibre of reporting. Unbelievable.

Condolences to the family for your loss.

A man lost his life, and the police are asking for anyone with information to come forward. Knowing what night this happened would likely be helpfull don't you think?

The casino closes at 3 am. Staff would be leaving to go home at that time.

There's an updated story in todays Brandon Sun and also on their website that says it happened early Sunday morning, it also has the time it happened. Mistakes happens.

What surprises me is it took RCMP three days to release info on the accident. But what can you do. Better late than never.

I would say it happened early Saturday morning 3:30am as I know people who were going to a wedding in Carberry on Saturday for 5pm and they were late getting there as highway was closed. As well they were told to go through Wawanesa and when they went that way there was also an accident that way which delayed their arrival.
