“This contact caused the westbound vehicle to rotate further into the eastbound lane, where it was struck on the passenger side by a second eastbound vehicle,” RCMP said in a news release.
Police said a passenger in the vehicle from Manitoba died at the scene while the driver and three other passengers were rushed to hospital with serious injuries.
