On March 1, 2011, just after 3am, Central RCMP as well as Portage la Prairie Fire Department and EMS were dispatched to the scene of a two vehicle collision on Highway 16 in the RM of Portage la Prairie.

Initial investigation indicates that on Highway 16, near the Dundonald elevator, a northbound 2005 Pontiac Grand Am collided with a southbound 2008 Yellow Manitoba Highways dump truck equipped with a plow.

The driver and lone occupant of the Grand Am, an adult male, was transported to hospital with undetermined injuries.

Visibility and driving conditions were poor due to blowing snow at the time of the collision.

RCMP continue to investigate.
