Police officers Investigate the scene of a traffic accident on Henderson Highway just north of Springfield Road Saturday morning.

Henderson Highway has reopened to traffic after a crash that sent three people to hospital, one of them in critical condition.

The collision occurred at about 4:15 a.m. directly in front of the Community Police Services office on Henderson. A patrolling Winnipeg Police Canine Unit witnessed the crash and was first on the scene.

Police said two vehicles, a GMC Sierra truck and a Pontiac Sunfire, were involved in the crash. A 17-year-old girl and 19-year-old woman were taken to hospital in stable condition. An adult man was hospitalized in critical condition. The sole male in the GMC Sierra was not hurt.

Police had closed Henderson from Springfield north to Whellams Lane this morning, and motorists were also blocked from turning east onto Springfield from Henderson.
