On January 12, 2014, shortly before 10:30am, Oakbank RCMP responded to a three-vehicle collision on Garven Road, two miles east of PR 206.

Police say that an eastbound and westbound vehicle collided head-on, with a third vehicle side-swiping after the initial collision.

RCMP report that two of the three occupants in the eastbound vehicle succumbed to injuries sustained in the collision. An 80-year-old female and an 86-year-old female were pronounced deceased. The three occupants of the westbound vehicle were taken to Winnipeg hospital in stable condition. The two occupants of the side-swiped vehicle did not sustain injuries.

An RCMP traffic analyst will be assisting in the ongoing investigation. Alcohol is not considered a factor.
