Winnipeg, April 14, 2024 - On April 10, 2024, at approximately 8:15 p.m., RCMP responded to reports of a two-vehicle collision on Raleigh Street in the RM of East St. Paul.
According to witnesses, moments before the collision, both a grey Nissan pick-up truck and a grey Dodge Ram 1500 were observed driving erratically and at high speeds on Raleigh Street. Speculations arose that the vehicles might have been engaged in a race or chase.
