Manitoba RCMP say they have obtained video footage of the deadly crash between a semi-truck and bus on the Trans-Canada Highway on Thursday that killed 15 people and sent 10 people to hospital, saying the semi-truck had the right of way at the time of the crash.
Superintendent Rob Lasson with the RCMP’s Major Crimes section provided an update to the investigation on Friday, saying they obtained video footage from the semi-truck trailer of the crash, which occurred around noon at the intersection of the Trans-Canada Highway and Highway 5.
This video indicates that the bus entered the roadway where the semi trailer truck had the right of way,” Lasson said.
Extensive analysis is being done on the video before any further determinations are made.
Lasson said RCMP have seized the bus and the semi-truck, with both being secured, and additional analysis of the vehicles will take place.
