‘Mommy, I need you. Please come and get me’: lone survivor of Gilbert Plains crash recovering in city hospital
5 minute read Updated: 10:34 AM CDTTrapped in the wreckage of a car pinned underneath a transport truck — and surrounded by four friends who died in the collision — a Dauphin teen repeatedly phoned her mother for help.
Hanna Yurkiw, 15, is in Children’s Hospital in Winnipeg, recovering from serious injuries suffered Wednesday night in a collision in Gilbert Plains. Her parents, Tanya and Darcy, stay almost constantly at her bedside.
“She was saying, ‘Mommy, I need you. Please come and get me,’” Tanya said Friday, sitting in Hanna’s hospital room as monitors beeped in the background.
“She called again when we were on our way (to the scene of the collision, some 30 kilometres west of Dauphin). We knew she was okay because she phoned me multiple times.”

Patient pulled by snowmobile sled
RCMP used a snowmobile sled to rescue a senior who was in medical distress at a remote cabin near Suwannee Lake.
Leaf Rapids RCMP were contacted at about 6:15 p.m. Tuesday. They were told a friend of the 85-year-old man had driven away from the cabin on snowmobile and was waiting to take officers to the remote location.
RCMP officers and a medical crew met the friend about 40 km south of Leaf Rapids and then travelled by snowmobile to the cabin, about approximately 6.5 km away.
The man was transported back to the road and then taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Fire in commercial building on Sutherland Avenue
Firefighters extinguished a blaze in a commercial building on Sutherland Avenue on Thursday night.
Crews were sent to the building in the first 100 block of Sutherland at 7:42 p.m.
Firefighters attacked the fire from outside because the structural instability of the building made it unsafe to enter. The fire was declared under control at 8:27 p.m., the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service said in a news release Thursday night.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. No damage estimates are available.
