The investigation into a deadly crash on a section of the Trans-Canada Highway is continuing by RCMP, as the Manitoba government has announced supports for family members of victims.
Supt. Rob Lasson with the RCMP’s Major Crimes Unit confirmed Monday that the two vehicles involved in the crash are undergoing mechanical analysis.
The crash involving a semi-truck and a handi-transit van on June 15 on the Trans-Canada Highway at the intersection of Highway 5 killed 15 people and hospitalized 10 people. RCMP said Friday a dashcam video from the semi-truck allegedly shows that the semi had the right of way at the time of the crash. Lasson said on Monday that they haven’t been able to interview the driver of the bus, saying he is still receiving medical care.“Often times, in these types of scenes, it’s difficult to gather evidence,” he said. “It’s difficult because, normally, we have a numerous amount of eyewitnesses.
Premier Heather Stefanson has instructed Manitoba Health to “immediately” make resources available to family members impacted by the crash to reimburse them for any travel, hotel or food costs.
