Collisions on Perimeter send two people to hospital
Two Winnipeg men whose truck stalled on the north Perimeter Highway were injured when they were hit by an oncoming car that swerved to avoid their vehicle this morning, RCMP said.
The collision happened in the westbound lanes on the North Perimeter Bridge between Henderson Highway and Highway 9 (Main Street), police said.
RCMP said the back end of the stalled Ford Ranger pickup truck, in the outside curb lane, was sticking out into the driving lane when an oncoming Honda Civic swerved to avoid it and lost control.
Police said the Civic spun around and hit the truck’s two occupants, who were walking on the bridge.
An oncoming GMC Sierra pickup truck then crashed into the front of the Civic, which was facing east.
