Man, 36, dead after head-on highway crash north of Winnipeg
A head-on crash on Highway 8 north of Winnipeg claimed the life of a 36-year-old man on Tuesday. RCMP say a large truck was heading south when a northbound car suddenly veered into its path around 11 a.m., just north of Bay Road in the rural municipality of St. Andrews. Emergency crews found the truck on its side in the west ditch and the car in the middle of the highway, which was shut down to traffic. The 36-year-old man, from Winnipeg, was pronounced dead on scene. He was the sole occupant of the car. The 67-year-old man driving the truck, from St-Pierre-Jolys, was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The highway re-opened around 3:40 p.m. following an examination of the scene by RCMP.

B.C. man charged in highway crash that killed 2, injured 3 others
Police were called to the crash on Highway 1 in Burnaby, B.C., on Feb. 18, 2024. A Surrey, B.C., man has been charged with multiple counts of driving while impaired by drugs after a highway crash that killed two young people and seriously injured three others. A statement Friday from the Burnaby RCMP says 35-year-old Chi Sun Park is facing 15 charges in relation to the collision between a Tesla and a minivan last year. Two women from Maple Ridge, ages 20 and 23, were killed in the 3 a.m. crash on the Trans-Canada Highway near the Sprott Street exit on Feb. 18, 2024. Two other Maple Ridge women, also in their 20s, were seriously hurt, as was a Surrey man in his 30s. Police initially said impairment was not suspected as a contributor to the crash, however further investigation has led them to believe otherwise. 'This matter is now before the courts and no further information will be released at this time in order to respect the court process,' the RCMP statement said. The B.C. Prosecution Service approved the following charges against Park on June 9, according to police: Two counts of dangerous operation of a conveyance causing death; Three counts of dangerous operation of a conveyance causing bodily harm; Two counts of operation of a conveyance while impaired by drugs causing death; Three counts of operation of a conveyance while impaired by drugs causing bodily harm; Two counts of operation of a conveyance with a blood drug concentration that exceeded the concentration for methamphetamine prescribed by regulation causing death; Three counts of operation of a conveyance with a blood drug concentration that exceeded the concentration for methamphetamine prescribed by regulation causing bodily harm.

75-year-old airlifted to hospital after car flipped when tire blew out on Hwy 395
A 75-year-old woman needed to be flown to the hospital after a burst tire caused her to wreck on Highway 395 Monday afternoon. Linda J. Elston, of Colfax, was heading south on the highway in a Toyota Camry when the driver's side rear tire blew out about a mile outside of Mesa around 1 p.m., the Washington State Patrol said in a traffic memo. Elston tried to get control of the vehicle as it began to swerve, but it flipped and landed on its top, Washington State Patrol and dispatch reports said. She needed to be freed from the car, Trooper Daniel Mosqueda told the Tri-City Herald. She was flown to Kadlec Regional Medical Center. Her condition was not immediately available, but Mosqueda said she was expected to recover. The Highway 395 crash was one of two to send someone to the hospital on Monday. Matthew Synhavong, 31, of Kennewick, was riding a 2013 Honda motorcycle west on Highway 12 on the east side of Pasco about 3:15 p.m. when he hit gravel on the highway, Mosqueda said. He lost control of the motorcycle and wrecked, the state patrol said in a traffic memo. He was taken to Kadlec Regional Medical Center. His condition was not immediately available, but he was able to talk to investigators about what happened in the crash, Mosqueda said. Synhavong was cited for riding without insurance or a motorcycle endorsement.
