On September 29, 2009, at about 2:50am, Portage la Prairie RCMP members on patrol came upon a single vehicle collision near Long Plain First Nation.
Investigation revealed that a 2005 Pontiac Montana driven by a 19-year-old woman from the Portage la Prairie area had driven off the end of a road and into the ditch. There were nine occupants, ranging in age from 15 to 22 years.
The scene was attended by Portage la Prairie RCMP, Fire, and Ambulance. Three occupants were transported to Portage General Hospital for treatment of serious, but not life-threatening injuries.
Alcohol and speed are considered to be a factor.
The investigation continues.
