Manitoba eyes three options to improve intersection where crash killed 17

The Manitoba government is moving closer to changing a highway intersection where a bus crash killed 17 people, but there is controversy over the plan.

The province is holding an open house tonight in Carberry, west of Winnipeg, not far from where a minibus carrying 24 seniors tried to cross the Trans-Canada Highway and was struck by a semi-trailer in 2023.

The province has discussed three options: widening the median, turning the intersection into a roundabout, or banning left turns onto the highway, which would force people to turn right before making a U-turn.

The Assiniboine Park Zoo is mourning the loss of one of its white-handed gibbons.

"He was very attentive when Maavi was born and loved taking her on adventures around the habitat. While mom Maya was always close by, he didn’t always want to give Maavi back!"
