WINNIPEG, MB – The Trans-Canada had two separate collisions this morning. Poor driving conditions were a factor in both collisions that closed off portions of the highway.

One collision included four semi’s and a pickup truck. That accident occurred west of Brandon.

Police said a line of westbound semis were stopped along the highway because of weather conditions when a semi driving on the road slowed down to pass them.

However, another semi moving past wasn’t able to slow down, lost control and collided with the other semis and a pickup truck, according to police.
