WINNIPEG — A Quebec senior was killed in a two-vehicle highway crash in western Manitoba on Monday night.
Virden RCMP were sent to the intersection of Highway 83 and Provincial Road 257, in the Rural Municipality of Wallace-Woodworth, at about 5:30 p.m.
An initial investigation determined a sport utility vehicle with four people inside was headed west on 257 when it stopped at a stop sign. The SUV then drove across the highway and was hit by a truck on the rear driver’s side, RCMP said in a news release Tuesday.
A 68-year-old woman in the SUV was pronounced dead at the scene. Two other Quebec women, ages 47 and 20, and the vehicle’s driver — a 45-year-old Saskatchewan woman — were injured. All three were in hospital in stable condition, RCMP said Tuesday afternoon.
A passenger in the truck — a 19-year-old Winkler man — was taken to hospital with a serious injury, the release said. The driver of the truck, a 31-year-old Plum Coulee man, and two other passengers — a 52-year-old Altona man and a 26-year-old RM of Stanley man — did not suffer major injuries, RCMP said.
Alcohol is not believed to be a factor in the crash, RCMP said.
