A woman and a young girl are dead after police say the SUV they were in collided with a semi that failed to stop at a rural Manitoba intersection.
RCMP say they responded to the crash 13 kilometres west of Altona, Man. on Friday evening.
They say the semi, which was being driven by a 25-year-old man from Brampton, Ont., was headed east on Provincial Road 201 and didn’t stop when it reached Provincial Road 306.
The SUV’s driver, a 35-year-old woman from the Rural Municipality of Rhineland, Man., died at the scene while her eight-year-old passenger died later in hospital.
The driver of the semi was transported to hospital where he was treated and released.
Police say charges are anticipated.
