WINNIPEG — A pregnant woman who walked across the United States border into Manitoba was rescued after she became trapped in a snowbank and appeared to go into labour. Emerson-Franklin Reeve Dave Carlson said the 25-year-old woman, who was nine months pregnant, was very lucky firefighters located her quickly Saturday morning. The woman called 911 after she walked from Minnesota across the border near Emerson. RCMP said she did not give birth, was placed under arrest for illegally entering the country and was later turned over to the Canada Border Services Agency. In June 2017, the body of a woman attempting to cross into Canada was found on the U.S. side of the border.
