At least 15 lives were lost in a heartbreaking accident on Thursday in Manitoba, Canada, when a bus carrying elderly passengers collided with a truck at an intersection near Carberry, roughly 170 kilometers west of Winnipeg. The group was en route to a casino when the collision occurred, transforming what should have been a joyful outing into an unimaginable tragedy.
Rob Hill, Deputy Police Officer and commander of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Manitoba, confirmed the devastating toll, stating, “At least 15 individuals were pronounced dead as a result of the collision.” As investigations continue and authorities work to uncover the cause, haunting images from the crash site reveal scattered wheelchair seats and walking frames among the debris—symbols of the lives forever changed in an instant. But what truly adds a chilling layer to the incident is who survived—and the unanswered question that still looms.
