A 53-year-old female is dead after a two-vehicle collision on Highway 16, near Provincial Road 350 earlier this week.
On July 6 at about 10:25 a.m., Neepawa RCMP responded to the collision about 12 kilometres east of Gladstone. An investigation determined that an SUV with two people in it was driving west when it veered into the eastbound lane and collided head-on with a semi-truck, which was being driven by a 63-year-old male from Plumas.
The 53-year-old female in the SUV was pronounced deceased on the scene while her passenger, an 18-year-old male was taken to the hospital with minor physical injuries. The semi-truck driver was not physically injured.
