One person is dead after a crash on the Perimeter Highway near Lagimodiere Boulevard just outside Winnipeg.
Early Thursday morning, RCMP were told about a vehicle driving eastbound in the westbound lane on the highway, officers said. Not long after, Mounties said they got a call about a crash there.
Authorities said a pickup truck passed a median separating the lanes, then crossed the westbound lanes into a concrete divider at “what appeared to be a high rate of speed.”
