Two women who died in a collision in Steinbach Friday were both from the Niverville area.

RCMP report one victim, the driver of the vehicle, was 95 years old and the other was 83 years old.

The women were travelling north on Highway #12 when their car struck an eastbound gravel semi that was crossing the highway at Clearspring Road. Police say it appears the car ran a red light.

An autopsy will be done to try and shed more light on why the car did not stop.
