USE CAUTION: POOR DRIVING CONDITIONS IN SOUTHERN MANITOBA
The Manitoba RCMP are advising motorists to be cautious when travelling due to poor driving conditions and low visibility in southern Manitoba.
This includes the Trans-Canada Highway between Portage la Prairie and Headingley.
The highway is closed following a number of collisions.
This includes two multi-vehicle collisions west of Portage, near Oakville, that occurred at about 11:20 am. Collisions occurred in this area in both eastbound and westbound lanes.
At least five vehicles were involved in one of those collisions, including an RCMP vehicle.
RCMP and emergency medical service crews have been ferrying citizens to the hospital. However, no serious injuries are believed to have occurred.
At last report, road conditions were continuing to deteriorate.
Motorists heading out on the highway are encouraged to reconsider until conditions improve.
The RCMP are working with local fire and ambulance services and tow-truck providers at the scenes.
You can find current highway conditions and updates by calling 511 or viewing online at: www.manitoba511.ca
