On May 29, 2009 around 10:00 PM Portage la Prairie RCMP were on patrol when they located a single vehicle that had rolled over off of Highway 305.
The vehicle was in on its side in the ditch across from the Gas station. The vehicle had three occupants, all of which were women from Long Plain First Nation. Two of the passengers were able to get out and were being looked after by passers by who had stopped to help. The driver was stuck in the driver’s seat unable to get out on her own.
LPFN Fire Department attended and extracted the driver from the vehicle. All three occupants were transported to Portage General Hospital by Portage Ambulance to be treated for non life threatening injuries.
Alcohol is believed to be a factor and the incident is still under investigation.
