CAA Manitoba says having a roadside emergency kit is like having an insurance policy.
- 2 seriously hurt, 11 others injured in B.C. crash that shut down Highway 99
- Multi-vehicle crash including double-decker bus closes Highway 99 in Delta
- Cause of fiery Calgary bus crash that killed 3 passengers, injured 16 under investigation
- Young father killed when motorcycle crashes into Edmonton bus shelter
The company suggests having basic items like food, water, candles and blankets in your vehicle as well as a colourful piece of fabric that could be used to flag someone down in the event of an emergency.
A full list of what to put into an emergency kit is available on the CAA Manitoba website.
