Another collision has occurred at an intersection of a Manitoba highway, the same intersection where 17 people were killed in June.

RCMP say this latest incident has sent three people to hospital with serious injuries.

It occurred just before 5:00 p.m. yesterday afternoon, when a pickup truck entered the intersection and collided with an eastbound SUV.

Both vehicles had enough momentum during the initial collision, to cross the highway and strike a third vehicle stopped at the intersection on the other side.

On June 15th a bus carrying 25 people, most of them seniors, was struck by a tractor trailer unit, killing 15 instantly,while another two died later in hospital.
