The preliminary investigation reveals that two pickup trucks, one heading north and the other south, collided head-on while travelling on Highway 8. Road conditions were reported to be extremely icy at the time of the collision.

One of the pickup trucks contained three occupants, of which the 28-year-old male driver from Fisher Branch and a 57-year-old male passenger from Winnipeg were transported to hospital with serious injuries.

The other passenger, a 51-year-old woman from Winnipeg, was pronounced deceased on scene. The 32-year-old male driver of the other pickup truck, from Clandeboye, was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
