A vehicle going east crossed the centre line, and collided with a semi-truck going west.

The driver of the truck, a 53-year-old man from Dauphin, wasn’t hurt, but the driver of the other vehicle, a 72-year-old woman from the RM of Grandview, was pronounced dead.

Icy conditions are believed to be a factor in the crash.
