Serious

I was heading to Brandon a little before 9 and Shilo Fire was on the scene at that poin. There were two accidents....one on the 340 where both cars were rolled into the field next to the road. That one looked very serious.
The seocnd was a pair of vehicle on the low road a little before the intersection. It appears a truck hit a car fairly hard.
The intersection was closed and we had to detour onto Thompson rd. When I came back an hour or so later, the intersection of the low road was still closed, but I was able to come thru Douglas and back to Shio. All 4 vehicles were in the hook or trailers at that point, and just one RCMP remained on site.
I only saw one ambulance heading out from Brandon, but looking at the cars, I suspect there may have been more than one injury. The truck also looked quite bad and I would imagine the airbag deployed. Best wishes to those involved.
