On January 20, 2011, just after 7:30am, Central Plains RCMP responded to a two vehicle collision on Highway 1, approximately 10km east of Portage la Prairie.

Also attending the scene with the Central Plains RCMP were Portage la Prairie Emergency Services and EMS.

Investigation revealed that a westbound semi-trailer collided with a southbound Ford pick-up truck at the intersection of Road 28 West and the Trans Canada Highway.

The driver of the pick-up truck, a 25-year-old man from Portage la Prairie, was transported to hospital with what were reported to be undetermined, non life threatening injuries.

Westbound traffic was reduced to one lane for a short period of time.

Police continue to investigate.
