Steinbach first responders were called to a two-vehicle collision at Main and Friesen at around 12:00 PM this afternoon.

Assistant Fire Chief Mike Penner describes what appears to have happened: “I presume someone went through a red light when it wasn’t safe to do so. We’ll have to clean up some fluids and debris and both vehicles will have to be towed.”

Penner indicates that though both vehicles involved sustained significant damage, neither driver was harmed.

Westbound traffic was slowed or diverted for about half an hour before crews had the site fully cleared at which point traffic resumed normal speeds.
