At around 10:45 p.m., police were called to a serious motor vehicle collision involving a passenger vehicle and a female pedestrian at Portage Avenue and Woodhaven Boulevard.
Members of the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service attended and rushed the pedestrian to hospital in critical condition, who later died from her injuries. The driver of the involved vehicle remained on scene and spoke with investigating officers, police said.
The Traffic Division’s Collision Investigation Section has assumed the investigation.
Anyone with information, including video or dash camera video footage regarding this incident, is asked to contact Traffic Division investigators at 204-986-7085 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-8477 (TIPS) or online at winnipegcrimestoppers.org.
Meanwhile, a major thoroughfare was closed to traffic after a crash involving a police cruiser, which sent two officers to hospital.
Just before 3:40 p.m. Sunday, police posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, that there was a crash at St. Anne’s Road and Abinojii Mikanah. The crash caused eastbound Abinojii Mikanah – formerly known as Bishop Grandin Boulevard – and northbound St. Anne’s to be shut down.
Two officers were taken to hospital in stable condition, a police spokesperson said Monday. The driver of the other vehicle was uninjured.
