At least 15 individuals lost their lives in a horrific accident on Thursday in Manitoba, Canada. A bus carrying elderly passengers collided with a truck at an intersection near Carberry, 170 kilometers west of Winnipeg.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau extended his condolences, stating his thoughts are with the injured and the families of those who lost loved ones. Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson also expressed her sympathy.

This accident is one of the deadliest in recent Canadian history. In 2018, 16 people died in a similar collision in Saskatchewan.

Such tragedies emphasize the importance of vigilance and responsibility on the road to prevent future accidents.
