A 24-year-old man remains in a Winnipeg hospital with non-life threatening but serious injuries, following a two-vehicle crash south of Carman Thursday afternoon.
According to Manitoba RCMP's initial investigation, a semitruck and a pickup truck were travelling south on Highway 3 when a second semi, heading west on Highway 23 crossed the intersection. This caused the drivers of the first semi and the pickup to slam on the brakes, however police say the pickup truck, which was towing a flat deck trailer, was unable to stop before hitting the semi in front of it.
According to a social media post by the Roland Fire Department, which responded to the crash, one of the drivers had to be extricated from their vehicle. RCMP say the semi driver was unharmed.
The incident forced the temporary backup of traffic in the area.
The 24-year-old, who was the lone occupant of the pickup truck, was transported to hospital.
The semi that crossed the intersection has yet to be located.
The investigation continues.
