Reports of multiple deaths in crash on Manitoba highway

Jun 15, 2023 | 2:13 PM

WINNIPEG — At least 15 people are dead and several others taken to hospital with injuries following a highway crash involving a bus and semi-trailer west of Winnipeg.

Manitoba RCMP are calling the crash “very serious” and are asking people to avoid the area of the Trans-Canada Highway where it intersects with Highway 5.

Photos supplied to The Canadian Press by a witness at the scene show what looks like a large van smouldering in a ditch alongside the road.

An eastbound transport truck with a smashed engine sits on the road.

It had collided with a westbound bus carrying seniors, police said.
