US EditionManitoba Eyes 3 Options to Improve Intersection Where Crash Killed 17
CARBERRY, MANITOBA, CANADA, JUN 25 – Manitoba considers three safety options including an RCUT design to reduce collision points after a 2023 crash killed 17 at a highway intersection near Carberry, officials said.
- In June 2023, a minibus transporting 24 elderly passengers from the Dauphin region collided with a semi-trailer at the intersection of Highway 5 and the Trans-Canada Highway, resulting in 17 fatalities.
- The crash occurred because the bus driver, facing a yield sign, crossed in front of an eastbound semi-trailer that had the right of way, and police found no criminal fault.
- The Manitoba government is considering three safety upgrades for the intersection including widening the median, a roundabout, and a restricted crossing U-turn , which was selected by consultants.
- Residents, including Debra Steen who gathered over 2,000 petition signatures, oppose the RCUT, calling it “a recipe for disaster” due to large farm equipment and trucking needs.
- The final decision on safety upgrades rests with politicians, though Carberry Mayor Ray Muirhead still supports building an overpass, an option the government is not considering.
