Posted on by

A 50-year-old Winnipeg woman is dead after a crash north of Portage la Prairie Monday afternoon, RCMP say.

The scene on Highway 16 was discovered by a Manitoba First Nations Police officer around 5:40 p.m., followed by officers from the Portage RCMP detachment, as well as EMS and local firefighters.

Police said their investigation has determined that a southbound SUV, driven by a 47-year-old man from Winnipeg, crossed over the highway’s centre line and crashed head-on with the woman’s SUV headed in the other direction. She was pronounced dead at the scene, while the man was taken to hospital.
