The passengers on the bus were heading to a casino in Carberry when the collision occurred. Deputy Police Officer Rob Hill, the commander of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Manitoba, confirmed that at least fifteen people lost their lives in this tragic event.

While medical care is being provided to ten additional individuals who were injured, the cause of the collision is still under investigation by the authorities. Heartbreaking images taken at the scene depict damaged walking frames and wheelchair seats near the covered remains.
