On March 5, 2009 shortly after 9 a.m., RCMP St. Pierre Detachment along with Emergency Services were dispatched to a single Semi Tractor Trailer collision 1 kilometre north of St. Adolphe on Highway 75.

The 33-year-old Winnipeg man driving the Semi died as a result of the collision. The Semi, loaded with limestone, was heading south on Highway 75 on the way to Morris at the time of the collision.

Road conditions are considered a contributing factor to this collision.

The public is reminded to adjust their speed to road conditions. Many highways in the St. Pierre and Morris area have been reported as very slippery. Please use caution.
