There was a fatal crash Thursday afternoon outside Ste.Anne.

Steinbach RCMP Corporal Mike Martens says it appears a vehicle heading south down Highway 12 was struck by a vehicle crossing Provincial Road 210 from the east.

One person died at the scene. There is no word on age or gender of that individual.

Another person was airlifted to hospital in Winnipeg. Corporal Martens says at least two others were transported to hospital by ground ambulance.

As of three o'clock, Martens says southbound Highway 12 will remain closed for at least an hour or two for traffic analysts. He strongly encourages motorists to find an alternate route.

No further details are available.
