<\/p>\nA man was airlifted to hospital in critical condition after a serious crash near schools in the Transcona area this weekend, Winnipeg police say.<\/p>\n
Police and the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service responded to the single-vehicle crash near Murdoch MacKay Collegiate early Sunday morning, Const. Claude Chancy said in an email.<\/p>\n
The wreckage of a black sedan flipped onto its side could be seen across from Coll\u00e8ge Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau \u2014 which neighbours Murdoch MacKay on Redonda Street \u2014 at around 10 a.m., with car parts and other debris, including a broken lamp post, strewn around the area.<\/p>\n
“It’s horrible,” said Henry DeBeer, who passed by the scene Sunday morning. He said the accident was “unnerving” for someone who lives nearby and walks by the residential street often.<\/p>\n
“Just looking at it, you had to be driving pretty fast.\u00a0And you see quite a bit of that in this area off and on,” DeBeer said.<\/p>\n
“If this happens at 3:00 in the afternoon, there’s a lot of people in this area, and somebody else could have got hit.”<\/p>\n

STARS Ambulance responded to the scene just after 2 a.m. Spokesperson Blake Robert said a man whom police say was the only person in the vehicle was flown to the Health Sciences Centre after the crash.<\/p>\n
“We kind of heard all the sirens like the\u00a0fire engine, ambulance, the police car,” local resident Pam Heaphy said.<\/p>\n
“When I got out of the house, I saw the STARS helicopter coming down,” Heaphy said. “I’ve\u00a0never seen it land in the city. So [I was] very surprised.”<\/p>\n
Robert said missions within Winnipeg are not frequent, but do happen occasionally. STARS responded to six scene calls within city limits last fiscal year, the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
A section of Redonda Street between Kildare Avenue E. and Victoria Avenue E. was temporarily closed Sunday while investigators processed the scene of the crash.<\/p>\n
Chancy said the road was reopened to traffic as of 1 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man was airlifted to hospital in critical condition after a serious crash near schools in the Transcona…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":59014,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[9893,5740,25617,14967,84,9891],"class_list":["post-59013","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-winnipeg","tag-claude-chancy","tag-critical-condition","tag-lamp-post","tag-police-car","tag-winnipeg","tag-winnipeg-police"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59013","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59013"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59013\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59014"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59013"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59013"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59013"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
