On April 14, 2011, at about 1am, Yellowhead RCMP along with local area fire and ambulance crews were called to a collision involving 2 semi-trailers.
RCMP report that the collision occurred on Highway 16, about five kilometres north of Foxwarren, MB.
The two semi drivers involved in the collision, a 47-year-old man from Legal, Alberta and a 35-year-old man from Winnipeg, were transported to the Russell District Health Centre with non-life threatening injuries.
Early investigation suggest that the trucks collided while traveling in opposite directions (north/south) resulting in substantial damage to both semis on the driver sides.
Debris and a minor diesel fuel spill was noted at the scene and has since been cleaned up.
The investigation continues into the cause of the collision, alcohol is not considered a factor.
