A Grandview area teen died Monday morn-

ing from injuries sustained in a single vehicle rollover south of Minnedosa Sun-day afternoon. T h i r t e e n - y e a r- o l d Brock Pulock was a pas-senger in a 2004 Ford Ex-plorer and was ejected from the vehicle when the driver lost control on High-way #10 at approximately 1 p.m. Sunday. Brock and a second teenage boy were rushed to Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg, where Brock passed away the fol-lowing morning. At press time, the second teen re-mains in stable condition with non-life threatening injuries. A third boy, was transported to Minnedosa Hospital, treated for minor injuries and released. Th e driver and front seat pas-senger were uninjured. As two boys were eject-ed from the vehicle, it is be-lieved they may not have been wearing seatbelts at the time of the rollover. RCMP continue to investigate this incident. Alcohol and speed are not believed to be factors in this incident and charges against the driver are not expected to be laid.
