On July 11, 2014, at approximately 10pm, St-Pierre-Jolys RCMP officers were conducting highway traffic enforcement when they witnessed a head-on collision between a northbound pickup truck and a southbound pickup truck. The collision occurred on Provincial Road 206, just south of the Trans-Canada Highway, near Landmark, Manitoba.
Police say that two of the four occupants in the southbound truck were transported to local hospital for assessment while the other two occupants were treated and released at the scene. A 15-year-old female occupant of the southbound pickup was later transferred to a Winnipeg hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The lone occupant in the northbound pickup truck was treated and released at the scene.
RCMP report that both drivers, a 40-year-old Landmark man and a 24-year-old Winnipeg man were found to be impaired and are facing charges. It is not clear at this time if the occupants of the vehicles were wearing seatbelts.
