The crash tied up traffic for hours into the evening, making it difficult for even emergency vehicles to make it to the scene, Murray said. Traffic collision investigators determined the sedan was speeding eastbound on Portage Avenue from Headingley, Man., at times driving against traffic, Murray said. RCMP were in the process of responding, but had not yet started pursuing the sedan when it crashed in Winnipeg, Murray said. The Winnipeg man is charged with one count each of operation of a conveyance causing bodily harm while impaired, dangerous operation of a conveyance causing bodily harm and refusing to provide a blood sample. (Walther Bernal/CBC)The man is also charged under the Highway Traffic Act with driving without a valid licence and failing to exchange particulars.
