A 33-year-old male is dead after the minivan he was driving was hit by a semi-truck on Centreport Way Wednesday afternoon, January 20, 2021.
Police say the semi was eastbound when it failed to negotiate a curve, drove through the median and collided with the westbound minivan. The truck came to a stop in the north ditch.
The driver of the minivan was taken to hospital in critical condition but did not survive and was pronounced dead soon afterwards. The 37-yera-old driver of the semi was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Both drivers are from Winnipeg.
Investigators do not believe alcohol played a factor in the crash. Speed and road conditions at the time of the collision are being investigated as possible contributing factors.
RCMP continue to investigate.
