Man arrested after ‘catastrophic’ fatal collision in Winnipeg: police
A two-vehicle collision left one woman dead, and another seriously injured, according to Winnipeg police, who arrested a 19-year-old driver at the scene.
A woman died and another sustained life-threatening injuries in a devastating collision involving two SUVs in Winnipeg, according to police. The crash occurred around 7 a.m. Sunday when a stolen 2022 Honda CR-V, allegedly driven by a 19-year-old intoxicated driver, ran a red light and collided with a Kia Seltos. The impact caused the Honda to become airborne, strike a traffic light standard, roll over, and collide with a tree, resulting in catastrophic damage to both vehicles.
Police described speed and impairment as major contributing factors to the serious collision. The 20-year-old woman who was a passenger in the Honda died in the hospital, while the other passengers - a 22-year-old woman and a 20-year-old man - were taken to the hospital with injuries. The 19-year-old driver was arrested and treated for minor injuries, facing charges of possessing property obtained by crime over $5,000, operating a conveyance while impaired, and failing to comply with a release order.
He is expected to be charged with additional offenses. The 43-year-old driver of the Kia Seltos sustained minor injuries and was stable in the hospital.
