The Royal Canadian Mounted Police commander in Manitoba, Deputy Police Officer Rob Hill, announced that regrettably, at least fifteen people were declared dead following the crash.
About twenty-five persons, the majority of whom were elderly, were on the bus.
At the hospital, ten more people were receiving medical attention. The police said that both drivers were alive but would not say who caused the collision.
Photos taken at the scene of the disaster revealed wheelchair seats and walking frames shattered close to the tarpaulins that covered the dead victims.
Justin Trudeau, the prime minister, offered his sincere condolences to the bereaved and his sympathies to the injured.
Premier of Manitoba Heather Stefanson also conveyed her condolences to the families of the those lost in the unfortunate event.
Among the deadliest traffic accidents in recent Canadian history is this one. In April 2018, a truck and a bus transporting a junior hockey team crashed on a remote road in the adjacent province of Saskatchewan, resulting in the deaths of sixteen people. The truck driver received an eight-year prison sentence in 2019.
In 1997, a bus full of senior citizens crashed into a ravine in Quebec province, causing the deadliest disaster in Canadian history to claim 44 lives.
Everyone is compelled to support and stand by the families and loved ones of those who perished in these horrific accidents during these terrible times.
It is imperative to maintain awareness and responsibility while operating a vehicle and to follow traffic laws in order to prevent similar tragedies from happening in the future.
