The Manitoba RCMP says that a multi-vehicle collision involving approximately 20 tractor-trailers and 5 passenger vehicles has closed Highway 1 in both directions between Virden & Brandon.
Early reports say that 3 people have been transported to the hospital with injuries but there are no further details at this time.
The RCMP asks the public to avoid the area as Highway 1 is expected to be closed for an extended period of time and there are detours in place.
