On November 25, 2024 at approximately 5:40 pm, a Manitoba First Nations Police officer, who was travelling along Highway 16, came upon a two-vehicle collision near Macdonald, located approximately 25 kilometres north-west of Portage la Prairie.
RCMP officers from Portage la Prairie, along with EMS and the local fire department, attended the scene.
The investigation has determined that a southbound SUV, being driven by a 47-year-old male from Winnipeg, veered over the center line and collided head-on with a northbound SUV, being driven by a 50-year-old female from Winnipeg. Visibility may have been a factor in the collision.
The 50-year-old was pronounced deceased on scene. The 47-year-old was transported to local hospital and then to Winnipeg for further treatment.
Portage la Prairie RCMP, along with a Forensic Collision Reconstructionist, continue to investigate.
