Police are seeking witnesses to a motor vehicle collision that closed a busy Winnipeg intersection for hours and sent four people to hospital, including one in critical condition.
The injuries were the result of a crash between a pickup truck and a taxi cab around 6 a.m. Wednesday at the intersection of St. Anne’s Road and Fermor Avenue. The pickup rear-ended the cab.
In an update Thursday, police reported a female passenger in the cab was taken to hospital in critical condition. Two other occupants of the cab were treated for non-life threatening injuries, and the driver of the truck was taken to hospital in stable condition.
At the crash scene Wednesday, a red pickup truck sat on the median of St. Anne’s Road about 10 metres away from the intersection with Fermor Avenue. The front end was completely destroyed.
The taxi sat on the northbound side of Fermor Avenue, facing southbound, about 50 metres away from the truck. Its rear end was completely smashed in.
Police said at the time there were no indicators alcohol was a factor. They couldn’t say if that was true for speed, and in the hours after the crash they had no information on whether the truck was driving above the posted speed limit.
There was no information released about any charges stemming from the accident.
The investigation was continuing Thursday and police are still seeking the public’s help.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 204-986-6271 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477)
