At approximately 7:25am on August 22, 2018, Headingley RCMP Traffic Services responded to a report of a two-vehicle collision on the Perimeter Highway, approximately half a kilometre east of the Brady Road intersection.
Police investigation has determined that a westbound pickup truck, being driven by a 32-year-old Winnipeg man, drove over the median and collided head-on with an eastbound minivan, being driven by a 42-year-old woman from La Salle, Manitoba.
RCMP report that the La Salle woman was pronounced deceased at the scene and the Winnipeg man was transported to hospital in serious condition.
RCMP have determined seatbelts were in use and that speed was not a factor in the collision. Officers are focusing their attention on what caused the vehicle to cross over the median.
Headingley RCMP traffic Services along with a Forensic Collision Reconstructionist continue to investigate this incident.
