Cement Truck Driver Dies in Gimli Accident

A 46-year-old man is dead following a crash in the RM of Gimli on February 28, 2023.

The incident happened just before 2 pm that day.

The RCMP report they were called to a report of a cement truck entering the ditch on Highway 8 at 17th Avenue.  EMS also responded, but the man was pronounced deceased at the roadside.

The RCMP say it looks like the cement truck was headed south on the highway, and swerved to the west side of the road, entering the ditch and rolling.  The driver was the only person in the truck.

Because the driver was working at the time of the crash, Manitoba Workplace Safety and Health will also be investigating the fatality.
