A 70-year-old man was transported to hospital after being injured in a vehicle collision with a semi near Plum Coulee, Manitoba.
On March 23, 2011 at about 7pm, RCMP Carman Area Detachment with assistance from the Altona Police Service, along with Plum Coulee Fire and EMS, were dispatched to a two vehicle collision at the intersection of Highway 14 and Highway 306 just south of Plum Coulee, Manitoba.
At the scene, RCMP and EMS found a 70-year-old injured male. He was conveyed to Boundary Trails Hospital and then subsequently to the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg.
RCMP learned that the 70-year-old was northbound on Highway 306, when he attempted to cross Highway 14. His vehicle was struck by an eastbound semi tractor trailer truck.
There were no other people injured in the collision and alcohol is not considered a factor.
The investigation continues.
