A Manitoba RCMP officer was injured on Saturday when their marked cruiser was struck by a vehicle that took a turn too fast.
Police say the collision happened at around 9:15 a.m. when the officer, who was on duty, was approaching the Highway 16 and Highway 10 intersection near Minnedosa.
According to police, as the westbound officer was slowing down to approach a stop sign, a northbound SUV attempting to turn east off Highway 10 and onto Highway 16 took the yield too fast and hit the police vehicle.
The 16-year-old Brandon girl driving the SUV, as well as the officer, both suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were transported to hospital. Both have since been released.
RCMP continue to investigate.
