On September 11, 2013, at about 10:30pm, Steinbach RCMP along with area Fire and EMS were dispatched to a two vehicle collision at the intersection of Highway 12 and PTH 210 in the RM of Ste. Anne.
Investigation revealed that a semi-tractor (no trailer), driven by a 41-year-old Winnipeg man was travelling southbound on Highway 12 when a GMC Envoy travelling eastbound on PTH 210 pulled out directly in front of the semi-tractor. The semi-tractor collided with the driver’s side of the GMC Envoy causing extensive damage and injury to the 68-year-old male driver from Edmonton, Alberta.
Police say that the lone occupant of the GMC Envoy was transported to a local hospital and was subsequently airlifted to Winnipeg. He remains in critical condition. The driver of the semi-tractor was not injured.
Alcohol is considered a factor in this collision. Steinbach RCMP continue to investigate with the assistance of an RCMP Forensic Collision Reconstructionist.
