A total of seven patients were taken to hospital, said police.
Photos from the scene show an SUV and minivan were involved in the collision, which happened around 12:30 p.m. CT. A Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service spokesperson said they took five people to hospital.
Interlake Regional Health Authority ambulances were used to take two others to hospital in stable condition, the WFPS spokesperson said.
