A crash on Highway 1 involving 20 semis and a handful of passenger vehicles Thursday afternoon led to closures in both directions, RCMP said.
The multi-vehicle collision was reported around 1:45 p.m. in western Manitoba between Virden and Brandon, and resulted in three people taken to hospital with injuries and damage to a number of vehicles.
Manitoba 511 says the westbound lanes have reopened while the eastbound lanes remain closed as of 7 p.m.
Courchaine said the three people hurt in the crash do not have life-threatening injuries.
