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.
