The location of a tragic auto accident near Carberry earlier this summer is once again the scene of a multi-vehicle collision.

RCMP have confirmed that on July 31, at around 4:45 p.m., they responded to an accident at the junction of Highway 1 and Highway 5 in the R.M. of North Cypress-Langford.

When officers arrived on the scene, they found that there were three vehicles involved. The initial investigation suggests that a pickup truck was travelling south on #5 and entered the intersection at the #1 Trans-Canada Highway. At that point, it then collided with an eastbound SUV. The collision between those two vehicles then careened across the highway, and collided with a third vehicle, that was waiting at a stop sign located on #5, south of the Trans-Canada.

The initial RCMP report noted that three people were injured, with two taken to a local hospital while a third is being taken to Winnipeg. The injuries are serious, but no fatalities have been reported, as of Wednesday, Aug. 2.
