One person was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after a multi-vehicle collision on the north Perimeter Highway on Monday.

Police were sent to the Perimeter Highway just west of Highway 8 at about 7:45 a.m. after receiving reports of a crash involving multiple semi-trucks and other vehicles, Manitoba RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Melanie Roussel said in an emailed statement.

The westbound lanes on the Perimeter were closed between Highway 8 and Pipeline Road after the crash.

The collision snarled traffic, with vehicles lined in the westbound lanes before the Highway 8 underpass. A large truck with a crumpled front end was flanked by a pickup truck and an SUV with similar damage.
