Emergency crews were called to a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of HWY 52 and Industrial Road just after noon.

Steinbach Assistant Fire Chief Russ Reimer gives the details.

"We were told one vehicle was traveling west and the other one was coming across the road when it was unsafe to do so, striking the westbound vehicle in the driver door. It caused it to have enough damage that we needed to extricate the patient because the patient potentially had a medical injury to their leg. It could be a broken leg I'm not sure."

Reimer says the driver and lone occupant of the westbound Honda Civic was taken to hospital and the driver of the Dodge van was not injured.

He adds this is a busy intersection in Steinbach and advises people to be cautious when crossing.
