At least 15 people were killed in the Canadian province of Manitoba after a semi-trailer truck hit a small bus that was carrying a group of mainly elderly people, local police said
The crash occurred at the junction of two major roads near the town of Carberry in southwestern Manitoba, 170 km west of Winnipeg. The bus passengers had been on their way to a casino in Carberry, CBC News reported, citing a casino spokesperson.
Media reports initially identified the vehicle as a van rather than a bus. They said it was operated by Handi-Transit, which transports the elderly and those with disabilities. In a tweet, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he sent his "deepest condolences to those who lost loved ones today, and I'm keeping the injured in my thoughts. I cannot imagine the pain those affected are feeling," he said.
