A two-vehicle crash between an SUV and an ambulance on Highway 16 has claimed the life of a Winnipeg woman and sent three others to hospital.
The crash happened at around 5:20 a.m. Thursday between Gladstone and Neepawa between Highway 352 and Road 74 North.
RCMP say the SUV was travelling west when it collided with an eastbound ambulance. The 36-year-old Winnipeg woman driving the SUV was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The 37-year-old man driving the ambulance, along with a 37-year-old female passenger and the patient, are currently in hospital.
Police believe poor road conditions were a factor in the collision.
