A collision in Southdale involving a train sent one person to the hospital and closed several intersections in the area Sunday afternoon, blocking traffic for hours.
Winnipeg police say it happened around 2 p.m. at a railroad crossing on Beaverhill Boulevard near Abington Road. A police spokesperson told CTV News that there was a motor vehicle collision involving a train and that Canadian Pacific Railway Police were also called.
Beaverhill was completely closed to traffic while investigators began their work. The stalled train blocked several major junctions in the area, including Fermor Avenue at Archibald Street and Beaverhill at Willowlake Crescent. There were police on site, regulating traffic as needed.
Winnipeg Fire Paramedics said in an email to CTV News that one person was taken to hospital who did not have to be extricated from the vehicle. Winnipeg police confirmed a 38-year-old woman was rushed to hospital in stable condition.
This is a developing story. CTV News Winnipeg will add more details as they become available.
