A 53-year-old woman from Winnipeg died in a two-vehicle collision on Highway 16 Thursday morning.

Manitoba RCMP reported Friday that around 10:25 a.m., officers from the Neepawa detachment responded to a collision involving an SUV and a semi-truck 12 kilometres east of Gladstone.

A 20-kilometre stretch of highway was closed after the accident for several hours until around 5 p.m.

A collision on Highway 16 between Gladstone and Woodside closed the highway for several hours on Thursday while crews responded to the accident.

The SUV, being driven by the woman, was heading westbound when it veered into oncoming eastbound traffic and head a semi-truck head on.

The woman was pronounced dead on scene while an 18-year-old man in the same vehicle was sent to hospital with minor injuries. The driver of the semi, a 63-year-old man from Plumas, was not injured.

Mounties continue to investigate with a forensic collision reconstructionist.
