One woman has been killed and four others injured in a crash in southern Manitoba that police allege was caused by drunk driving.
Two cars crashed on Wednesday afternoon on Highway 45 about five kilometres east of Elphinstone.
Police say a car going south on Road 122 West failed to stop at the intersection and collided with a SUV going east on Highway 45.
The front passenger in the car, a 31-year-old woman from Keeseekoowenin Ojibway First Nation, was pronounced deceased at the scene, and two others in the car — a 29-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman, both from Waywayseecappo First Nation, were taken to hospital with serious injuries.
The driver of the car, a 27-year-old woman from Waywayseecappo had non life-threatening injuries and is facing several charges, including impaired driving causing death and refusing to provide a blood sample.
The driver of the SUV and her 52-year-old male passenger, both from Keeseekoowenin, were taken to hospital with serious injuries.
