RCMP are asking drivers to avoid a stretch of Hwy 2 after what they’re calling a serious crash Thursday.
In a tweet shortly after 1 p.m. police said officers were at the scene of a multi-vehicle crash near Fannystelle, Man.
They say Hwy 2 is closed east of Fannystelle to Hwy 248 and drivers are asked to avoid the area.
While police have yet to release any further information, a Global News reporter driving near the area reported seeing a crash in a construction zone on Hwy 2 shortly before noon.
Two fire trucks, RCMP, and an ambulance could be seen at the scene, the reporter said.
Fannstelle is roughly 48 km southwest of Winnipeg.
