Emergency crews responded to a collision at the intersection of Highway 52 and Provincial Road 216 north of Kleefeld on Thursday evening, shortly before 6 p.m.

Kleefeld deputy fire chief Armin Dueck said the crash involved two vehicles.

Dueck said one occupant was transported to hospital in Winnipeg by the STARS air ambulance. A total of three people were involved in the crash.

A RCMP traffic analyst was already on the scene investigating the collision around 7 p.m.

Dueck said he expected the intersection to remain closed for about three hours. Traffic on Highway 52 was being detoured around the crash site using the merging lanes of the Kleefeld turnoff.
