Manitoba Crash

10 Minutes From Their 

Destination, a Crash Took 

Their Lives

 ...at least 15 people were killed and 10 injured when a semitrailer truck slammed into the bus on a rural stretch of highway...

...

The bus, carrying 25 passengers, was two hours into its journey and crossing the four-lane highway when it was struck by a semitrailer truck, the police said

...

...For many in the province, it also had a sad echo, recalling another deadly crash in April 2018 in Humboldt, in neighboring Saskatchewan, where 16 junior hockey team players and staff were killed when their bus collided with a semitrailer truck.

...

 The crash “brings back memories of other terrible incidents like in Humboldt, Saskatchewan,”-- Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

...The police said it took place amid clear conditions on the Trans-Canada highway, the national highway used by transport and passenger vehicles to cross the country.
