In a tragic incident, a bus carrying seniors to a casino collided with a semi-trailer truck at a highway intersection in a rural part of Manitoba, Canada. The collision resulted in the death of 15 people and left 10 others injured. The Manitoba Royal Canadian Mounted Police immediately responded to the scene, deploying all available resources. The bus, which was carrying 25 people, was heading south and crossing the eastbound lanes when it was struck by the truck that was going east. The investigation will focus on determining who had the right of way. The victims of the crash were mostly seniors, and their loved ones are anxiously awaiting information regarding their involvement. The crash occurred in Carberry, a city located 170 kilometers west of Winnipeg, Manitoba’s capital. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressed his condolences to those who lost loved ones and extended his thoughts to the injured. A family support center has been established at a Lutheran Church in Dauphin, Manitoba, for the relatives of the victims. Flags have been lowered to half-staff at the Manitoba legislature to honor the lives lost. The Sand Hills Casino, where the van was scheduled to arrive later in the day, expressed sorrow over the incident. The senior center administrator in Dauphin mentioned that seniors and community members often go on buses for trips to nearby events or casinos. The truck company involved in the crash expressed its heartbreak and pledged full cooperation with the investigation. Witnesses at the scene described a bus on fire and first responders working diligently to rescue people from the burning vehicle. The 2018 bus crash in Saskatchewan that claimed the lives of 16 people from the Humboldt Broncos minor league hockey team is still fresh in people’s memories. Investigators from that crash are lending their assistance in this case. The commanding officer of the Manitoba RCMP acknowledged the tragic nature of the event and expressed his sadness for the entire nation.
