Police say the woman was driving in a very dangerous manner on Wenzel Street before making her way on to the Perimeter.

While at the intersection near Dugald Road, she failed to stop at a red light and collided with a 44-year-old woman from Beausejour, sending her to hospital in critical condition.

The 26-year-old was also taken to hospital with serious injuries.

No other occupants were in either vehicle.

Charges are pending against the Steinbach driver.
