Crash in stolen vehicle sends 4 to hospital in Winnipeg, one in critical condition

Three of the people all adults were listed in unstable condition and one is seriously injured, police said. The occupants were two men and two women, all in their early 20s.

It happened around 2:50 a.m. on Roblin Boulevard, between Dieppe Road and Harstone Road, when the vehicle was travellingwestbound on Roblin. Police said the vehicle was moving at a high speed when the driver lost control.

"The driver lost control of the vehicle causing it to roll and eventually come to a stop in an eastbound lane," police said in a Friday news release.

The vehicle ended up on its side, next to the Charleswood Senior Centre. Const. Jason Michalyshen said it may have hit a tree on its way.

"So a very violent collision," Michalyshen said. "Thankfully we're not talking about any fatalities here, but I did receive information that one of the female occupants sustained very serious injuries."

Michalyshen said the vehicle's speed was a factor in the crash, and police haven't ruled out the possibility that alcohol was involved.

"Anybody that heard anything, saw anything we're asking them to give us a call," said Const. Jason Michalyshen.

He said the vehicle, a 2007 Saturn Vue,may have been stolen from the east part of the city.
