On October 11, 2013, just after 4pm Portage La Prairie RCMP, RCMP East District Traffic Services as well as local emergency services were dispatched to the scene of a two-vehicle collision which occurred on PTH 240. Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation also attended to assist.
Initial police investigation indicates a 1997 Mack grain truck collided head-on with a 1999 minivan.
RCMP report that the driver of the grain truck was treated and released. Also, one adult and six children, who were in the van, were transported to the local hospital by ambulance with undetermined injuries.
An RCMP Traffic Collision Analyst is assisting with the investigation. Alcohol is not considered a factor in this collision.
