Semi-truck catches fire after train crash in rural Manitoba

No one was injured following a collision on Wednesday morning between a train and a semi-truck. 

The crash happened just before 7:30 a.m. on Highway 23, at Road 18 East near Dufrost in the RM of DeSalaberry.

RCMP say a semi-truck travelling west on Highway 23 attempted to stop from a train crossing but was not able to do so on time. The driver swerved into a ditch, avoiding a collision with the train. The driver, a 57-year-old male from the RM of Montcalm, was transported to hospital for precautionary measures. 

'This is our livelihood': Farmers brace for hit from new China canola tariff

Farmer Bill Prybylski says China’s planned tariff on canola seed wasn’t factored into his business equations this year.

The president of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan says the 75.8 per cent preliminary duty, announced Tuesday, has already caused canola prices to fall by $1 per bushel.

That translates to a loss of about $200,000 for his farm. 

“That’s a pretty significant financial hit,” said Prybylski, who farms northeast of Regina near Yorkton.
