A 31-year-old man from The Pas was taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries after a two-vehicle collision on Highway 8 in the RM of Gimli on Sept. 10.
Police said Selkirk RCMP first received a report around 2:05 p.m. of an erratic driver travelling north on Highway 9 in the RM of St. Andrews. Less than an hour later, at 2:50 p.m., Gimli RCMP responded to a serious crash at the intersection of Highway 8 and Highway 229.
According to RCMP, an SUV travelling west on Highway 229 failed to stop at a mandatory stop sign and entered the intersection, where it collided with a semi-truck heading south on Highway 8. The impact caused the semi to roll onto its side in the west ditch, while the SUV came to rest in the northbound lane of Highway 8.
Investigators later confirmed the SUV was the same vehicle reported for erratic driving earlier in the afternoon.
The semi-truck driver was not injured.
Gimli RCMP, assisted by a forensic collision reconstructionist, continue to investigate.
