Local emergency responders attended a two-vehicle collision at the south
junction of Highways #10 and #16 near the Minnedosa Auto Wreckers on
Wednesday afternoon. Both vehicles were westbound on Highway #16 and
when they approached the intersection, the first vehicle was rear-ended by
the vehicle pictured above. The impact sent the first vehicle across the
highway where it came to rest in the field north of the intersection.
All parties were checked out on scene but had no serious injuries.
