Man taken to hospital after Friday night crash on rural Manitoba road
Police plan to charge 64-year-old driver in southwestern Manitoba
Manitoba RCMP say they will charge a 64-year-old man after a crash left pieces of two vehicles scattered across a rural Manitoba road and one of the vehicles in the ditch.
The crash happened Friday night just before 7 p.m. in the southwestern Manitoba municipality of Oakland-Wawanesa.
Police say a 64-year old man driving a southbound Chevrolet Cavalier ran through a yield sign and collided with the rear of an eastbound 2013 Dodge Ram at the intersection of Treesbank Road and Road 103 W.
A 38-year-old man from Wawanesa, Man., was driving the Ram, which rolled into the ditch after spinning 180 degrees. The driver of the truck escaped without injury.
The 64-year-old man from Prairie Lakes, Man., was taken by ambulance to hospital. Police say he walked away from the crash with non-life threatening injuries.
RCMP say they are pursuing a charge against the 64-year-old driver for violating the Highway Traffic Act.
Both drivers were wearing seatbelts and alcohol isn't considered a factor in the crash.
