Multiple in hospital after head on crash on Highway 3

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 28 Aug, 2023 12:18 PM
  • Multiple in hospital after head on crash on Highway 3

R-C-M-P say a head-on crash involving two vehicles shut down Highway 3 east of Creston for several hours and sent a number of people to hospital.

The Mounties say the crash happened around 9:30 yesterday morning, when an S-U-V crossed the centre line and hit a pickup truck.

They say occupants of both vehicles have been taken to hospital with significant injuries, although the number of victims and further details have not been released.

Police say Highway 3 has since reopened, and their initial investigation suggests speed and alcohol were contributing factors.
