3:46am heard a bang. Power shut down. Noticed a short while after emergency lights. Looked outside n a black two tone truck smashed through railings up toward a town house. 1 person takin into ambulance.

Taking to by ambulance.. There was someone on the ledge by the stairs of the town houses and a female in the truck..

It's often in the area. Visiting friends I assume.  
 
I have a photo but can't upload. Police still doing the scene investigation. Hydro was still off on south side, but north side has power.

Just left for work at 7:30 and the area was still blocked off. Was wondering what happened.

There is yellow tape blocking off the area, the police are still there.

From Brandon Police Service this morning. Sincerest thoughts are with the male driver, female passenger, family and friends during this difficult time.

The male driver was ejected from the vehicle on impact. Both the 20 year old male driver and 18 year old female passenger were transported to Brandon Regional Health Centre by ambulance. The female passenger was treated and released from hospital, but the male driver is to be transferred to Winnipeg with life threatening injuries. The incident is currently under investigation.

Is there anymore information on this accident?

just posted a photo I took driving home from work around 1pm. based on the damage they must have been flying down Stickney pretty fast. Lucky to have survived that at all.

hope everyone is ok now...

The male driver of the truck is still in winnipeg hospital in critical condition.

Any news? Is the male still in hospital?

Police have released an update this morning that I've pasted below:

The male driver was ejected from the vehicle on impact and both he and an 18 year old female passenger were transported to hospital by ambulance. The female passenger was treated and released, but the male driver was transferred to Winnipeg with life-threatening injuries. On Monday, the driver of the vehicle was located and arrested as a result of that collision.  
 
If the driver was taken to hospital withlife-threatening injuries, how could they have had trouble locating him?

They didn't say they had trouble locating him. Just that he was located.

still hope they are ok

Because it happened 3 months ago...  
 

I would have to look back in the papers, but I thought when I read the stories, thinking that it sounded like 3 people might be involved.  
 
I thought there was a quote from a resident about the girl saying something that made it sound like a 3rd person was involved. And that the police were searching the area with dogs.  
 
So I am wondering if there is just some confusion in this release making it sound like the driver was the the ejected one, but the ejected one was a passenger, and the driver just ran away.  
 
This could just be me making stuff up, or reading far to much into the stories, or something. It could very well be, that he was treated and released, and then just never showed up for something, or couldn't be contacted. But interesting info to say the least.

first I think they assumed the male that was sent to Wpg was the driver, but now they have found the true driver (3rd person).

No according to the brandon sun, the driver was the one ejected from the truck, and injured ...
