The family of a man killed while walking on a Manitoba highway last year will be gathering today to walk in his memory, and is calling for people to come forward.
Albert Bradley Flett, known to everyone as Brad, was walking to a friend’s place in his home community of Peguis First Nation, the evening of February 1, 2020.
The Manitoba RCMP says that a snowmobile poker derby taking place in the community created a hub of activity- people, cars, and snowmobiles were everywhere. Brad was walking on West Road, only a short distance behind his group of friends, when at around 6:00 p.m., he was struck by what police believe to be an all-terrain vehicle. As he was behind them, Brad’s friends did not see the collision happen, but when they heard it, and realized that Brad was struck, they began administering first aid right away.
