There were no serious injuries in a two vehicle collision Monday afternoon at the corner of Highway 30 and P-R 201 just north of Altona. Pembina Valley RCMP, along with Altona Rhineland Emergency Services and EMS, were dispatched around 1:45pm.
The investigation revealed a westbound SUV was stopped at the stop sign on 201, and then made a southbound turn onto Highway 30 in front of the semi truck driven by a 19 year old male from Holland. The semi truck driver tried to avoid the collision, but did not have enough time to stop, and rear ended the SUV, propelling it into the west ditch.
Both drivers were assessed at the scene by EMS, but were not transported to hospital.
The 54 year old male driver of the SUV is from Steinbach, and was issued a ticket under the Highway Traffic Act for proceeding when unsafe to do so.
Drugs and alcohol were not a factor in the incident.
