Manitoba RCMP say a multi-vehicle crash on the Perimeter Highway Thursday has led to one person being taken to hospital and another receiving almost $1,000 in traffic fines.

According to police, the crash happened when a trailer became detached from the vehicle that was towing it during rush-hour traffic, causing a collision involving four other cars.

One of those drivers was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries, while the 39-year-old man who was driving the first vehicle has been issued a $672 ticket for careless driving, as well as a further $298 fine for driving with an unsecured load.
