WINNIPEG – A woman was killed in a head-on crash on a highway southeast of Winnipeg Wednesday night.
An eastbound pickup truck and westbound car collided on Hwy 311 east of Hwy 12 north of Steinbach at about 7 p.m., RCMP said.
The 59-year-old woman from the rural municipality of Ste. Anne driving the car was killed; there were also two children in the car, a 14-year-old boy and four-year-old girl who were hurt and remain in hospital in Winnipeg in stable condition.
The 34-year-old woman driving the pickup truck, also from the RM of Ste. Anne, suffered minor injuries. Her passengers, a four-year-old girl and six-year-old boy, were also not seriously hurt.
Alcohol played no role in the crash, and the road conditions were also not a factor, RCMP said. The occupants of both vehicles were wearing seatbelts, police said. The cause is still under investigation.
