He was driving a westbound minivan on Highway 1 east of Portage la Prairie when it crossed the median ditch and ran head- on into an eastbound pickup truck towing a camper trailer. The 61- year- old driver of the pickup truck from Ste. Anne was taken to Portage General Hospital with injuries believed to be non- life- threatening, RCMP said. His spouse, the passenger, was airlifted to Winnipeg and was listed in stable condition, police said. The crash happened about one kilometre west of the Shell gas station on Highway 1 near Portage la Prairie. That section of the highway was blocked off. RCMP said Tuesday evening it had reopened. Hijacking suspects sought POLICE are looking for a man who hijacked two people at gunpoint at a car wash on Monday night and attempted to force them to withdraw money from a bank machine. A 59- year- old man and an 82- year- old woman were at a car wash in the 500 block of Madison Avenue at about 7: 30 p. m. when the suspect, wearing a disguise, brandished the gun as he jumped in their sport utility vehicle and demanded they take him to a bank machine. The male victim drove the vehicle to a bank in the area of Ellice Avenue and Empress Street and got out in the parking lot with the suspect. The male victim yelled at a passersby to call police when the suspect assaulted him, causing non- life- threatening injuries to his upper body. The female victim escaped the SUV, a Hyundai Tucson, before the suspect got back in and drove eastbound on Ellice Avenue. Police responded and about 9 p. m., found the SUV abandoned in a parking lot of a recreation centre in the 900 block of Sargent Avenue. The suspect is described as a male with a thin build, 6- 1 to 6- 4 tall, wearing dark- coloured clothing, carrying a backpack and using a shirt or sweater to conceal his face. Anyone with information related to this incident or the suspect is asked to call 204- 986- 6219 or CrimeStoppers at 204- 786- TIPS ( 8477). Border- area crash kills girl, 16 A single- vehicle collision Monday night near the U. S. border has claimed the life of a 16- year- old Gretna girl. At approximately 9 p. m., Morris RCMP and local emergency services were dispatched to an accident on Provincial Road 218, just east of Emerson. A vehicle heading west had lost control and ended up in a ditch. The teenage girl was pulled from the vehicle and taken to a Winnipeg hospital in critical condition. She died Tuesday morning. Her name will not be released. The 16- year- old male driver, from Emerson, received treatment for minor injuries. Alcohol was not believed to be a factor in the crash. RCMP continue to investigate. Charges in break- and- enter A 27- year- old Winnipeg man is in custody and facing a number of charges in connection with a break- and- enter Sunday morning. Police said the incident happened at 5: 20 a. m. in the 900 block of Carter Avenue in Fort Rouge. An armed intruder entered a home, awakened a woman, 25, and made sexual demands of her, police said in a news release. She screamed for help, alerting a 26- year- old woman living in the home, and the intruder threatened both women before fleeing, police said. Police investigated and identified a suspect who was arrested late Sunday afternoon in the same block of Carter Avenue. He faces several charges including break and enter, disguise with intent, sexual assault with a weapon, uttering threats to kill, possession of a dangerous weapon and possession of counterfeit money. - staff T HE provincial cabinet minister responsible for Manitoba's controversial municipal- amalgamation legislation said Tuesday he's open to the Opposition's suggestions on how Bill 33 can be improved. Local Government Minister Ron Lemieux said he is open to amendments from Progressive Conservative MLAs, but he added the window for such changes is short. " If they have some suggestions on how to make parts of this bill better, improve it, improve municipalities and how they work together, I am open to those discussions," Lemieux said after question period. Bill 33, now before the legislature, would require towns and rural municipalities with fewer than 1,000 people to merge with other municipalities. Affected municipalities would have to submit merger plans by Dec. 1. The plans would take effect Jan. 1, 2015. The bill is one of dozens tied up in the legislature this summer. Lemieux said Tuesday he is still adamant the legislation proceed. He would not speculate about what sections of the bill he might be open to changing. However, he promised any constructive discussions he had with the Tories on the bill would be kept confidential. Conservative critic Blaine Pedersen ( Midland) was not impressed by Lemieux's offer. " You can't amend a bad bill," he told reporters. " You can amend a workable bill into something that is better. But a bad bill can't be made workable." Pedersen said the government sprung amalgamation on municipalities without consulting them. The minister should withdraw the bill and seek input on the issue from local governments, he said. He said the Conservatives don't oppose municipal amalgamation, but they don't believe it should be imposed by the province as Lemieux is proposing. If two or more municipalities wish to amalgamate, the province should act as a facilitator, Pedersen said. " That's the way amalgamation should work - from the bottom up, not from the top down."
