A father and son were killed in a semi crash on a Manitoba highway early Thursday morning.
According to an RCMP report, officers from the Stonewall Division responded to a crash on Highway 6 in the RM of Woodlands near Warren around 7 a.m.
They said a vehicle traveling southbound on Highway 6 crossed into the oncoming lane and collided with a truck traveling northbound.
The driver of the car, who was a 29-year-old man, and his one-year-old son both died on the spot.
The truck driver, a 74-year-old man, was taken to the hospital with injuries.
RCMP believe icy conditions were a factor in the crash.
The investigation continues with the cooperation of the traffic reconstruction expert.
The highway was closed in both directions from PR 323 to PR 411, but reopened Thursday afternoon.
