Late Tuesday night, RCMP and the local area Fire Department and EMS were dispatched to a collision involving a train and a semi tractor-trailer hauling cattle on Highway 5 north of Carberry.
The lone adult male driver of the semi tractor-trailer was transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The semi tractor-trailer was heading southbound on Highway 5 when it collided with a westbound train at a controlled railway crossing. The semi was hauling 82 heads of cattle at the time. Eleven heads of cattle survived the crash. Several cattle had to be destroyed due to injuries. Some remain at large. Two train carts derailed and struck a storage shed at the Viterra elevator. Other than a small diesel leak from the semi – which has since been cleaned up, there is no environmental damages or concerns.
Highway 5 has been re-opened to traffic. However, crews remain on scene to conduct repairs.
Heavy fog last night is considered a contributing factor to the collision. |
