| Location | Carberry, Manitoba, Canada |

On June 15, 2023, a vehicle collision between a Handi-Transit bus and a semi-truck occurred on the Trans-Canada Highway near Carberry, Manitoba, Canada, killing at least 15 people and injuring 10 others.[1][2][3][4][5]
Incident
The majority of people on the bus were seniors from Dauphin, Manitoba, who were traveling to the Sand Hills Casino near Carberry, Manitoba.[6] The bus was traveling southbound on Highway 5 when it crossed into the eastbound lanes on Highway 1, and was struck by the semi-truck.[7]
Aftermath
In the aftermath of the crash, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police stated that all available resources in western Manitoba had been deployed, and that its major crime services had taken over the investigation.[3] The Shock Trauma Air Rescue Service dispatched two helicopters and two planes, as well as fourteen medical personnel.[8] According to officials, a minimum of 10 individuals, including two drivers, were admitted to the hospital with injuries that are likely to be "significant" given the "magnitude and force" of the crash.[9] Police did not immediately state which driver was responsible for the accident,[10] although it should be noted that (unlike a number of intersections on Highway 1) the intersection is not controlled by traffic signals and as such traffic on the Trans-Canada Highway (i.e. the semi in this incident) would normally have the right of way.
The Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg declared a "code orange" due to the mass casualty incident.[4]
Response
The premier of Manitoba, Heather Stefanson, stated "My heart breaks hearing the news of the tragic accident near Carberry. My most sincere condolences go out to all those involved."[11] Several other politicians, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, and premier of Saskatchewan Scott Moe also expressed their condolences.[12][6]
