At least 15 people met a tragic end in a horrible accident that took place on Thursday in Manitoba, Canada. It happened when a bus filled with elderly passengers crashed into a truck at a crossroads close to Carberry, which is around 170 kilometers west of Winnipeg.
The passengers were headed to a casino in Carberry. Rob Hill, the Deputy Police Officer and the one in charge of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Manitoba, confirmed the deaths. He said, “At least 15 people were found dead because of the collision.”
Another ten people are getting medical care in the hospital. Both of the drivers made it through the crash, but the authorities still haven’t figured out who was to blame. Shocking pictures from the site showed broken wheelchairs and walkers near the tarps that were covering the bodies of the victims.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sent his condolences and said he supported the injured and the families of those who had lost their loved ones. Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson also showed her sympathy for the people who were affected.
