Woman in hospital after Whiteshell rollover

A 29-year old woman is in Lake of the Woods District Hospital in Kenora in critical but stable condition after a rollover Saturday afternoon in the Whiteshell, RCMP reported.

RCMP and EMS were dispatched shortly after 3 p.m. to the scene of the single-vehicle accident.

"She rolled her vehicle while she was driving eastbound on Highway 1 in the Whiteshell Provincial Park, three kilometres west of Falcon Lake," Winnipeg RCMP spokeswoman Sgt. Line Karpish said in an email.

The woman, reportedly from Thunder Bay, was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash and alcohol is not considered a factor.

The highway was closed to traffic but it is now open again.

RCMP were investigating the cause of the rollover Saturday.
