Horrific Chaos In Canada || Worst Blizzard Ever Buries & Paralyzes Winnipeg, Manitoba
As of 2:40 p.m., RCMP say there are between 30-40 highway crashes in Southern Manitoba they are responding to, including one that stretches two kilometres along Highway 12 near Ste. Anne.
Transportation Minister Lisa Naylor tells 680 CJOB three hospitals - HSC, Ste. Anne and Steinbach -have issued Code Oranges, which means they’re preparing in case they get a high volume of car crash victims.
One of the pileups is on Fermor Avenue, and RCMP say one person had to be taken to hospital after she got out of her vehicle and was hit by another.
Most highways in southern Manitoba remain closed, but conditions are quickly changing with some reopening into the evening.
The province issued an alert earlier, asking everyone to stay off all southern Manitoba highways.
Blizzard conditions are expected to continue developing throughout the day across the Red River Valley, including in Winnipeg, and the Interlake, Environment and Climate Change Canada says.
