A 33-year-old man died after the snowmobile he was on crashed into a tree in Manitoba's Interlake area.

It happened on Jan. 17 at about 1:30 a.m in the Rural Municipality of Grahamdale, just north of the town of Ashern, according to RCMP.

Two men were riding snowmobiles on a trail when the machines went off at a curve and hit trees.
