The Town of Carberry would like to see an overpass constructed at the intersection where a deadly bus crash occurred last year.

17 seniors from Dauphin died and eight others were injured when the bus they were on collided with a semi at the intersection of Highway 5 and the Trans Canada Highway.

Carberry Mayor Ray Muirhead says a a majority of councillors from the community recently voted in favour of that option to boost safety at that intersection.

The overpass was not one of the three medium-term options the province presented when it announced earlier this year it would spend 12 million dollars to improve the intersection.
