A 26-year-old Winnipeg woman is dead after a crash with a semi-trailer at CentrePort Canada Way and Sturgeon Road Wednesday afternoon.

According to the Independent Investigation Unit (IIU), Manitoba’s police watchdog, the crash took place shortly after RCMP tried to pull the woman over for speeding.

The IIU said she was travelling at 107 km/h in a 70 km/h zone, and continued to increase speed after police turned on emergency lights in an effort to get her to pull over.
