On March 6, at approximately 7 :35 p.m., Pembina Valley RCMP responded to a multi-vehicle collision that claimed the lives of two Winkler males.
The collision happened just north of the intersection at Highway 428 and Road 19 North, in the RM of Roland. Two trucks had stopped on the southbound highway lane to assist a male who had driven his car off the road and into a ditch.
As this was occurring, a 17-year-old female driving a southbound vehicle didn’t immediately recognize the trucks were stopped on the road. The vehicle swerved to miss the truck that was in her lane, clipped one of the stopped trucks, went off the highway and hit the back of the car that was already in the ditch.
Two males who had been standing in the ditch – the 44-year-old owner of the first car and a 73-year-old from one of the trucks – were injured in the collision and died.
The 17-year-old female driver and her passenger, also a 17-year-old female, were taken to Boundary Trails Health Centre as a precaution. No other injuries were reported.
Road conditions were noted to be icy at the time of the collision.
The investigation continues.
